I've played with it a little bit, and Martin has been right. dpkg
fails when I try to install both packages. When I first remove one
and then I install the other dpkg works fine.
So it seems I've not understood how ConfFiles works. If I've
understood well now, ConfFiles is supposed to cope with
configurations files of a single package, not common files from
different variants of one package. Have I caught it? Please enlight
me here...
If I'm right about what I've stated above, I can see only two
solutions: the first, suggested by Sébastian, consists in renaming
those files according variants (/etc/pyxrc-py23 and /etc/pyxrc-py24,
respectively). In this way users with 2 python flavours installed can
customize in a different way their pyx packages (even if I can't
sincerely see any reason why someone would have 2 python flavours
_and_ 2 pyx packages installed).
On the other hand, since the package already installs few common
files in /sw/share/pyx-py2? (depending on the variant), and since the
files in there are exactly the same for all the variants, I could do
a splitoff (e.g. pyx-data or pyx-conf) that would install the common
files in a common directory including the pyxrc configuration file.
In this way the two variants wouldn't collide anymore but users can't
have different configurations for different pyx flavour.
I hope to have been clear. Have you any comment? Suggestions?
Thanks,
Andrea

Isn't this happening when you try to install both packages at the

mechanism. It would only be a question of both packages conflicting
with each other. Or does it happen also when you first remove pyx-
py23 and then install pyx-py24?
