[cl-debian] Bug#469178: gclcvs 2.7.0-84 uninstallable: requires exact obsolete version of binutils-dev

Package: gclcvs Version: 2.7.0-84 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable The package has a binutils-dev (<= 2.18.1~cvs20071027-999) requirement that makes it unusable for anyone that didn't install it precisely when that now obsolete version of binutils was current. Why such a requirement? The mind boggles. No wonder no one has installed a new gclcvs in ages...
