Package: zope-mysqlda
Version: 2.0.8-2
Severity: normal

This "bug" is also reported for zope-zwike and several other zope
packages. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=292213

I want to use zope-mysqlda with zope2.7. zope-mysqlda depends on
zope. zope2.7 provides zope, so all should be fine. But since
zope-mysqlda depends on a minimum version of zope (2.6.2) this doesn't
work. It keeps wanting to install zope though zope2.7 is already
installed.

The workaround is to change the Depends line in control to:

Depends: python2.2 (>= 2.2.3), zope (>= 2.6.2) | zope2.7, python2.2-mysqldb

I did this (my first hack in a Debian package :)) and it worked. The
connection in Zope to my database now functions again.

The dependencies mentions below may be those of my slightly-hacked
package.
