[Bug 427609] Re: won't install -- the new empathy-doc package has to be published

[Noel J. Bergman]

** Summary changed:

- won't install -- Depends: empathy-doc (= 2.27.92-1ubuntu1) which does not exist
+ won't install -- the new empathy-doc package has to be published

** Description changed:

+ The current debian/control file for empathy has:
+ 
+ ...
+ Depends: ${shlibs:Depends},
+          ${misc:Depends},
+          empathy-doc (= ${source:Version}),
+          dbus-x11
+ ...
+ 
+ and:
+ 
+ ...
+ Package: empathy-doc
+ Architecture: all
+ Section: doc
+ Depends: ${misc:Depends}
+ Replaces: empathy (<< 2.27.92)
+ ...
+ 
+ but that does not appear to have been built and published with Ubuntu
+ (q.v., http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/karmic/empathy)
+ 
+ This results in being unable to install or upgrade, as with:
+ 
+ $  sudo apt-get update
  $  sudo apt-get -s install empathy
