Citing the policy manual: This usage [a Replaces: line] only takes effect when the two packages do conflict, so that the two usages of this field do not interfere with each other. Conflicts entry was added in python-apt--debian--0.6--patch-13. Replaces entry was added in python-apt--debian--0.6--patch-14. Archive available at: http://greek0.net/~greek0/archives Comments?

Eh, this usage is the wrong usage. You want the one that means this package permanently replaces files found in the other package, which is the one that you get without a Conflicts line. There's no reason to force the removal of the other package here, AFAICT. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Unpacking python2.3-apt (from .../python2.3-apt_0.6.11_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/python2.3-apt_0.6.11_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/apt_pkg.so', which is also in package python-apt dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Ok, that's my fault. In my tree I've splitted the python 2.3 stuff out of python-apt into its own package. python-apt is now contains only documentation and depends on python2.3-apt. The problem is that we are missing a versioned conflict against older versions of python-apt, which contains the same files as python2.3-apt does now. As a workaround you can upgrade to the latest version of python-apt from experimental, that will pull in python2.3-apt automatically and fix the error you discribe. While we're at it, should we add a Suggests: line for python-apt to python2.3-apt and python2.4-apt? A fix (added Conflict: python-apt ( 0.6.11) to python2.3-apt), is available as [EMAIL PROTECTED]/python-apt--debian--0.6--patch-13 at URL:http://greek0.net/~greek0/archives. Sorry for the problems the missing conflict has caused. Cheers, Greek0 signature.asc Description: Digital signature
