This came from the slang1 maintainer. Apparently its simply a matter of rebuilding the packages that want slang1 << 1.3.

There was a problem with the slang 1.2.x packages that created the wrong dependency < 1.3 when you created a package with them. I uploaded a corrected 1.2.2-3 and got everyone to recompile their slang dependent packages. As far as I know all the packages have been recompiled, but perhaps they are not yet build for powerpc.
