You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

usb-modeswitch 1.2.3+repack0-1ubuntu3 don't allow the package usb-modeswitch-data 20120815-2 be upgraded to version 20130610-1.

This bug needs to be forwarded upstream (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage#Forwarding_upstream).

[Søren Holm (sgh)]

This is as far as I can see not an upstream bug, but merely a versioning issue.

usb-modeswitch depends on "usb-modeswitch-data >= 20110227-1~", but it turns out that usb-modeswitch-data's version is in fact 20131113-1. But I'm guessing that that the ending ~ might trick the package management system.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[Janus (reslayer-mail)]

 Slm!

  I'd like to correct it at least locally, but in fact I don't want
that app working at the moment for several months yet, and package
maintainer does not take care of that, and unless we break it thru and
let maintainer correct the thing others won't have it working. Correct
me if anything's wrong with what I said.

Latest upstream usb-modeswitch-data is this :

http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/usb-modeswitch-2.0.1.tar.bz2
http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/usb-modeswitch-data-20131113.tar.bz2

So I guess usb.modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data should both be updated to more recent version.

[Søren Holm (sgh)]

It's no longer a problem.
