[Bug 353570] [NEW] empathy is uninstallable - dependency errors due to version numbers

[dsyates]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

Description:    Ubuntu Jaunty (development branch)
Release:        9.04
empathy-2.26.0-1ubuntu1
I expected to be able to install the package.
Instead, I got dependency errors stating that:
Could not mark all packages for for installation or upgrade.
The following packages have unresolved dependencies.
Make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled
in the preferences.

empathy:
 Depends: libempathy-gtk19 but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: libempathy23 but it is not going to be installed

This appears to be related to a version number difference.

libempathy23-2.26.0-1ubuntu1 depends on libempathy-
common-2.26.0-1ubuntu1, but the version of libempathy-common available
in the repos is version 2.26.0.1-0ubuntu1 not version 2.26.0-1ubuntu1.

The same issue exist for libempathy-gtk19, it depends on libempathy-gtk-
common-2.26.0-1ubuntu1, but the version in the repo is libempathy-gtk-
common-2.26.0.1-0ubuntu1.

I am not sure if this is intentionally done to prohibit installing
empathy until libempathy-common and libempathy-gtk-common packages are
ready for release, or if it's an error in the version numbers.
