Breaks wouldn't help here, Replaces is what's needed. Considering that over 2000 people have the packages from the MATE repositories installed[1], adding that might be a good idea. > but mixing different repositories is problematic anyways. Indeed, if a newer version gets uploaded to the MATE repositories people tracking it will likely experience the same problem again.
