So I'm the developer of barriosquare (in extras-devel) which is based on PyQt4. Some of my users are running to dependency issues (conflicting packages with):

python2.5-qt4-gui
python2.5-qt4-network
python2.5-qt4-webkit

Upon more serious investigation, they already have these packages installed:

Code:
ii python2.5-qt4-gui 4.6.2-maemo20091218.0 Python bindings for Qt4
Core components.
ii python2.5-qt4-network 4.6.2-maemo20091218.0 Python bindings for Qt4
Core components.
ii python2.5-qt4-webkit 4.6.2-maemo20091218.0 Python bindings for Qt4
But barriosquare wants to update them to:

Code:
ii  python2.5-qt4-gui                                   4.7-maemo7                                                                                                                                                      Python bindings for Qt4 Core components.
ii  python2.5-qt4-help                                  4.7-maemo7                                                                                                                                                      Python bindings for Qt4 Core components.
ii  python2.5-qt4-network                               4.7-maemo7                                                                                                                                                      Python bindings for Qt4 Core components.

Any ideas on the incompatibility? I'm assuming this is related to some other software installing 4.6 versions of the bindings from extras-testing, while barriosquare wants to install the version from extras-devel?

I'm a bit confused. Does this email have any bearing on this issue:

How can I get my users to install my app without running into these dependency issues?
