Hi Julian:

Why don't you use 'gpg' command??

Cheers,
Sebas.

I forgot to also say that it does work to install the old
libraries. Those conflicts aren't "real" conflicts so it's safe to
run that script (as far as I know). This should allow os2007
applications to at least load and probably run successfully if it
doesn't depend on too much other os2007 stuff.

On a side note, I don't find it particularly nice for packages to
use fake conflicts to force the removal of non-conflicting
packages. There should be another way of asking the user whether
they want to keep older packages.

These packages are for OS2007 (bora) and don't exist in
OS2008. It's not clear what you mean that you have the
repositories necessary. Does that mean you added the bora
repositories? It requires a bit more than just adding the old
repositories as there are some dependencies to take care of. See
