Simply remove it.
Or did you mention it for Conflicts/Replaces? In the experimental version, firstly I added them only to Replaces , but later added to Conflicts based on the suggestion by Kevin Horton. http://www.mail-archive.com/fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg20837.html Replaces-only may be one idea, but I think the current version (both of Conflicts/Replaces) is not bad because it isn't harmful for users. libkpathsea6 Conflicts/Replaces libkpathsea4. Maybe no two ways about it. Tomoaki Okayama ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
