Is it me or does Firefox 1.0.4 depend on cairo >= 0.3.0... Well on my machine it does anyway... This makes it quite annoying that (the rather old) cairo 0.3.0 is the only available cairo package. I am coding some stuff that relies on the cairo 0.5.0 API and are about to get things mixed up.

I think what I'm saying/asking more or less is: How should I work aroud this, or are there newer cairo packages under way..?

Hint: If you're going to add cairo >= 0.5 please consider the pycairo package also. It's a great toy ;P

EDIT: BTW: Keep up the awesome work guys! :D

Make sure you refreshed your apt database lately because should should have cairo 0.5.1 available, at least that's what I have her on breezy.

cairo 0.5.0 will not be backported as it is incompatible to 0.3.0 (which is in hoary) and both can't be installed side by side so there will be many problems...
