Or, more to the point, it doesn't work the way policy says it should, which may or may not be a bug in dpkg. Installing a new php4-cli over an old php4-cgi will work, but installing an old php4-cgi after a new php4-cli is installed doesn't honour the 'Replaces'. Given that this is a pretty weird corner case, I'm not sure if anyone cares enough to fix the behaviour. ... Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
