Bug#704177: libgnome-desktop-3-2: dependency on gnome-desktop3-data=3.4.2-1 blocks gnome-desktop3-data from being updated past 3.4.2-1

[Alex Vanderpol]

Package: libgnome-desktop-3-2
Version: 3.4.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

This has actually been an issue since GNOME 3.6 entered Experimental.

libgnome-desktop-3-2 version 3.4.2-1 depends on gnome-desktop3-data being
exactly the same version, preventing gnome-desktop3-data from being updated
beyond that version. Since Eye of GNOME (eog) still depends on this package
(even at version 3.8), I cannot update gnome-desktop3-data past version 3.4.2-1
without removing eog and libgnome-desktop-3-2.

I'm not sure if there's anything in gnome-desktop3-data that libgnome-
desktop-3-2 depends on so strictly that it can't work with newer versions of
the package and have it's dependency changed to be on gnome-desktop3-data
greater than or equal to version 3.4.2-1 (which is what libgnome-desktop-3-4
and libgnome-desktop-3-7 currently have as their dependency on that package),
but if there's not, would it at all be possible to fix that dependency so
gnome-desktop3-data can be updated?
