Description: If I try to update to the latest dovecot 2.0.9 in extra, I get unresolvable dependencies because pigeonhole in community depends on dovecot=2.0.8. I think that it should not depend on this specific version, because it works with any version of dovecot newer than 2.0.3, so the depend should be >=2.0.4 instead of =2.0.8.


Additional info:
* package version(s) pigeonhole-0.2.2-1
This task depends upon

Hi Andrea - it will work with any dovecot version >= 2.0.4, but unfortunately a specific build of pigeonhole will only work against the version of dovecot which it was built against :-(

See this thread on aur-general:

http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2010-November/011922.html

I've just committed a rebuild against dovecot 2.0.9.

However, better solutions welcome :-)

No worries :-) For some reason I failed to see your name was Giorgio and not Andrea :-/
