Wait: libotr2 should *not* conflict with libotr5. The *-dev* packages should conflict, since they provide conflicting header files, and the *-bin* packages similarly. But the runtime libotr2 and libotr5 packages should be able to coexist, no? This would certainly prevent breakage of existing packages. - Ian _______________________________________________ OTR-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cypherpunks.ca/mailman/listinfo/otr-dev
