Fresh D7 install. Flexslider can't be installed with Libraries 2.1 installed.

The flexslider.info file needs to be updated from:

; Dependencies
dependencies[] = libraries (2.x)

To:

; Dependencies
dependencies[] = libraries (>=2.0)

I can confirm this solution.

Same issue for me - confirming the .info file tweak works.

Does this work when you have the dev version of libraries installed?

Don't have a test setup at the moment but either way you could do the following:

dependencies[] = libraries (>=2.0, 2.x)

Alternatively, this may work:

dependencies[] = libraries (>=2.x)

Re #3, even if Libraries 2.x dev worked today, it's not robust to set a dependency on a moving target - it would require all (23K, nice work!) sites using FlexSlider to be running a dev release. Stable releases should not depend on unstable releases. That's for Jenga!

First suggestion in #4 didn't work, Module flexslider_views_slideshow cannot be enabled because it depends on libraries (>=2.0, 2.x) but 7.x-2.1 is available. However James's second suggestion above does work, so please assign credit to him for this patch.

This had already been fixed in c70867, although it still affects 2.0-alpha1 (patch for that).
