ps: I tried Replaces: oldpackage Conflicts: oldpackage in control file, but the old package remains installed. Should I simply leave it installed, because it does not harm anyone? In "dpkg -l" I see status "ic" (Installed and Configuration files?): Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-==============-============-============-================================== ic oldpackage 1.0.01-00000 i386 Do not use, replaced by newpackage but dpkg -L oldpackage tells: Package `oldpackage' does not contain any files (!)
