In my opinion the way dependencies are set for osso-software-version-rx34 is broken. In practice it enforces a frozen installation as far as Nokia-provided packages are concerned (note that it says '=', not '>=', so no no naming convention will fix that problem for this libfreetype6 package, save from using the exact same package/version name and deliberately --reinstall'ing the new package (to overwrite the existing one)).

I can see the reasoning from Nokia's point of view, but in practice it just leads to pain for the end user.
