Package: jabberd14
Severity: grave

Hi, Miguel!

Today I've installed jabberd14 on new host. This host has two repo in
its sources.list: lenny and squeeze and has default release - lenny
(APT::Default-Release "stable";).

When I installed jabberd14 by command

# apt-get install -t squeeze jabberd14

I got unrunnable version jabberd14:

# invoke-rc.d jabberd14 start
Starting Jabber/XMPP server: jabberd14/usr/sbin/jabberd:
/usr/lib/libidn.so.11: no version information available (required by
/usr/lib/libjabberd.so.2)
.

When I installed squeeze's version libidn11:

# apt-get install -t squeeze libidn11

jabberd began to work.

Obviously that it has incorrect depends section.

PS: Miguel! If You want, I can be a sponsor for the package again :)

If a maintainer closes a bug, and after a single round of explanation,
still does not agree with reopening the bug, the bug should stay
closed.

If you disagree with the maintainer, then your choices are to either
attempt to:

1) convince the maintainer that your viewpoint is correct, preferably
by submitting a patch which fixes the perceived problem, along with
rationale as to why the patch is correct.

2) attempt to convince the technical committee that the maintainer is
incorrect, and should be overridden. This necessitates a patch as
required for #1.
 
In neither case should you reopen bugs that a maintainer has
closed.[1]

In this case, there's little point in this bug remaining open as is,
as the package in question has been scheduled for rebuilding, and the
only way to generate this bug is to be running squeeze's jabberd14 on
top of the lenny versions of the library, which isn't a huge concern
for upgrades to squeeze.

1: It is of course acceptable to reopen a bug in cases when the
maintainer is likely to agree with you, but that is clearly not the
case here.
