What is the point of syslinux/syslinux-common breaking all previous versions of each other, causing one of them to be deconfigured on every upgrade? The syslinux version in Squeeze already has a strict versioned dependency on syslinux-common, so at least the Breaks in syslinux is entirely redundant. The unversioned Replaces look also rather dubious, they should probably be restricted to versions where you actually moved files between syslinux and syslinux-common. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-rc4-nouveau+ (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages syslinux depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii syslinux-common 2:4.03+dfsg-11 collection of boot loaders (common syslinux recommends no packages.
