Here are two possibilities: 1. Use the "Replaces:" field. This allows to overwrite files of other packages. 2. Don't install the file into the package via InstallScript, but install it directly via PostInstScript. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
