Package: libc-client2007e Version: 8:2007f~dfsg-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When upgrading libc-client2007e package, uw-imapd stops working. uw-imapd breaks with heikki@locatelli:~$ nc localhost 143 * BYE [ALERT] IMAP4rev1 server crashing: c-client library version skew, app=2007e library=2007f It seems that uw-imapd is no longer supported in wheezy, I can live with that. But upgrading another package should not break existing installations. I think the package libc-client2007e, version Installed: 8:2007f~dfsg-1, should have a "conflicts" with uw-imapd (at least latest version, 8:2007e~dfsg-3.3). That way, upgrading libc-client will be blocked if there is a uw-imapd installed on the system, and the sysadmin will see there is a problem, and can deal with it before his mail users start complaining. (that's how I found out about the problem).
