What to do if an older version broke another package e.g. PgAdmin3

Previously, a special version of wxPython was needed so you could use a special version of wxWebKit. Unfortunately, that library conflicted with some other wxPython applications like pgAdmin3. This problem has now been solved and wxwebkit uses the standard wxPython libraries.
