[Bug 844696] Re: hunspell 1.3.2

[Iain Lane]

hunspell has a lot of reverse dependencies; try running apt-cache
rdepends <package> for these packages.

  Binary: libhunspell-dev, libhunspell-1.2-0, hunspell, hunspell-tools

The new version has a new ABI, package libhunspell-1.3-0. All packages
depending on -1.2-0 would have to be rebuilt if they are to make use of
the new  version.

From
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#How_to_request_new_packages

  New versions of libraries are strongly discouraged

Therefore I'm going to Won't Fix this one, but if someone wants to check
that all reverse dependencies build against the new library and continue
to work then I will reconsider. We'll also need to see that the rdepends
of hunspell itself are still OK.

** Changed in: natty-backports
       Status: New => Won't Fix

** Changed in: maverick-backports
       Status: New => Won't Fix

** Changed in: oneiric-backports
       Status: New => Won't Fix
