I'd suggest changing the name of the tinyos-specific AVR toolchain packages. This will prevent the namespace collisions within the package manager. If the managers of the Stanford repository aren't interested in doing this, you can do it yourself. I don't remember the exact syntax off the top of my head, but it goes along the lines of:
* extract the current package files with dpkg -x pkg.deb * extract the current package control info with dpkg -e pkg.deb * update DEBIAN/control * repack the deb using dpkg-deb -b tony Anne van Rossum wrote: > Dear list members, > > This regards the recent Ubuntu package at the debian repository: deb > http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu edgy main > > My current Ubuntu installation does already have binutils-avr, gcc-avr > and avr-libc packages.
