I worry that that is not completely robust: a "Breaks" would would force sysv-rc to be updated prior to configuring the updated manpages-fr-extra, but it doesn’t enforce the appropriate unpacking order when upgrading with dpkg. I think a "Replaces" should be good enough. After all, this doesn’t actually break the old sysv-rc version. Would something like this work? Using unversioned Replaces like this is only appropriate if we know that sysv-rc should not overwrite any files from manpages-fr-extra in squeeze or squeeze+1. I suspect we do know that. Jonathan
