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).


For info:
apt-cache policy uw-imapd libc-client2007e
uw-imapd:
  Installed: 8:2007e~dfsg-3.3
  Candidate: 8:2007e~dfsg-3.3
  Version table:
 *** 8:2007e~dfsg-3.3 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
libc-client2007e:
  Installed: 8:2007f~dfsg-1
  Candidate: 8:2007f~dfsg-1
  Version table:
 *** 8:2007f~dfsg-1 0
        500 http://ftp.dk.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

It is entirely possible that I have misunderstood the situation, and some
other packaging changes would be more helpful.
