Package dependencies are supposed to make sense within a given release. supertuxkart builds fine in unstable, so this isn’t a serious issue. When you backport, it’s part of the backporting work to determine when the stable dependencies aren’t sufficient, as you did; but insufficient dependencies for a backport to stable don’t constitute a bug. It *is* useful to have versioned dependencies where appropriate, so I’m leaving this open, but as a wishlist bug. Regards, Stephen
