Hi, Sorry for the poor changelog entry. Hopefully this is more informative.

Previously all plugins (UI plugins, protocol plugins, etc.) provided "licq-plugin" which licq recommended. Licq could not depend on licq-plugin as the plugins themselves depended on licq. This meant that if recommends wasn't installed (or only a non-UI licq-plugin) licq would not be usable. To fix this the following changes have been made: - The virtual package licq-plugin has been dropped. - The three UI-plugins (-qt4, -kde4, -console) provide the new virtual package licq-plugin-ui and recommend licq instead of depending on it (to avoid circular dependency). - licq now depends on licq-plugin-ui instead of recommending licq-plugin. > Also, wrapping Build-Depends during a freeze isn't exactly helpful, > especially during a freeze… (that's just noise) Sorry about that. Will avoid doing the same mistake the next time. // Erik -- Erik Johansson Home Page: http://ejohansson.se/ PGP Key: http://ejohansson.se/erik.asc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
