foo Depends on foo-base and Conflicts/Replaces against bar bar Depends on bar-base and Conflicts/Replaces against foo foo-base Conflicts/Replaces against bar-base bar-base Conflicts/Replaces against foo-base The dpkg and fink cannot handle the above situation, while apt can handle it as you want. This problem affects even current version of tetex package: only apt can switch switch tetex and tetex-nox. Workaround: Conflicts: << system-tetex, tetex, tetex-nox, ptex, ptex-nox, (%type_raw[-nox] = -nox) tetex-base (>= 0), (%type_raw[-nox] = .) tetex-nox-base, ptex-base (>= 0), ptex-nox-base << Replaces: << tetex, tetex-nox, ptex, ptex-nox, (%type_raw[-nox] = -nox) tetex-base (>= 0), (%type_raw[-nox] = .) tetex-nox-base, ptex-base (>= 0), ptex-nox-base << Then we make users happier. Assume that you have installed tetex-nox and tetex-nox-base. 1. What does NOT work: $ dpkg -i tetex-base_*.deb tetex_*.deb First, dpkg finds that installed tetex-nox Conflicts against tetex-base. Then dpkg refuses installing tetex-base. Second, dpkg finds that tetex Conflicts/Repaces against tetex-nox and tetex-nox-base. Then dpkg removes tetex-nox and tetex-nox-base. Third, dpkg tries to install tetex but finds that one of its dependencies (i.e. tetex-base) already failed the installation. Then dpkg gives up installing tetex. Postcondition: - tetex-nox-base, tetex-nox and tetex-base are not installed - tetex is unpacked but not configured - Second trial of dpkg -i tetex-base_*.deb tetex_*.deb succeeds $ dpkg -i ptex-base_*.deb ptex_*.deb Same as the above. 2. What does work: $ dpkg -i tetex_*.deb tetex-base_*.deb First, dpkg finds that tetex Conflicts/Replaces against tetex-nox and tetex-nox-base. Then dpkg removes tetex-nox and tetex-nox-base. Second, dpkg tries to install tetex and looks for tetex's dependencies from the given arguments and finds tetex-base. Then dpkg successfully installs tetex-base and tetex. $ dpkg -i ptex_*.deb ptex-base_*.deb Same as the above. $ fink install tetex Since fink APPENDs tetex-base_*.deb, dpkg can install tetex and tetex-base. $ fink install tetex-base tetex Since fink REORDERs its arguments to dependencies-later order, dpkg can install tetex and tetex-base. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
