Yes, true. When introducing the bcron/bcron-run packages I made the bcron-run package Provides: cron Replaces: cron Conflicts: cron for that reason, and filed http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=304038 I didn't know about a virtual package 'cron-service' until now. Is it really necessary, or should logrotate simply drop the version from the dependency? Regards, Gerrit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
