Comment 8 for bug 834361

> It looks like the Debian maintainer at some point bumped the simplejson dependency from (>= 1.4) to (>= 2.1.1). Zooko (or anyone), do you have any idea why the dependency might have gotten bumped so much higher than tahoe-lafs requires?

Well, ideally we would ask the Debian maintainers -- Bert Agaz and Micah Anderson (per http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/tahoe-lafs ). Even *more* ideally, they would have written down in a changelog entry why they chose those values. I'll go look for such a thing in the Debian packaging history.

As an upstream maintainer, I'm pretty confident that our upstream requirements of simplejson >= 1.4, foolscap >= 0.6.1, and pycryptopp >= 0.5.20 are sufficient.
