Package: apt Version: 0.1.10 I recently upgraded a gnome-related package using dselect's apt method. When dpkg installed the package it said that it was overwriting /usr/lib/somegnomelibrary.so because the --force option was specified. This resulted in all older gnome programs that are linked to this library to stop working. I'd prefer a message stating that this package can't be installed because of these conflicting files.
(Of cause, this was caused of a bug in the gnome packages, but packages can be buggy.) -- System Information Debian Release: slink Kernel Version: Linux lazarus 2.1.132 #23 Mon Feb 1 17:15:38 CET 1999 i586 unknown Versions of the packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.0.7.19981211 GNU C Library: shared libraries hi libstdc++2.9 2.91.60-2 The GNU stdc++ library (egcs version) --- Begin /etc/apt/sources.list (modified conffile) deb ftp://ftp.lh.umu.se/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb ftp://nonus.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/binary-i386/ --- End /etc/apt/sources.list
