Actually it was the opposite - he has 0.4.5-3, apt-get wants 0.4.5-4. So you got downgraded right, just told him the wrong version number.

In this case, you got both mixed - he has an upgraded version: the package depends on 1:2.2.140-1+0m5, and he has 1:2.2.142-13. (As I said before @CSSU folk: wtf? Do you really need a dependency on a specific version? Can't you make it depend on ≥1:2.2.140+0m5, rather than just =1:2.2.140+0m5?)

Actually, while this is true for stock status menu, hildon-status-menu has had portrait mode supporting patches available for a while now (if I recall correctly, thanks to MohammadAG), and includes portrait mode support in the CSSU for it. It might be that the amount of rows to show set in gconf is wrong, but then he should be able to scroll inside what status menu elements are shown.
