Ideally, a package should have no conflicts. But the develment effort can be hard. I'm not familiar with the issues involved in installing a proxy server. Could you inform me? Maybe there is a way to make cern, apache, spinner, etc. all independent packages that will be congnizant and considerate of the other web servers installed. I'd like to set that as a goal. But for expediency, I think we will have to use conflicts. -- Christopher J.
