the better way are diversions, see dpkg-divert, are you installing into /usr/ ? I thought that sunwspro goes into /opt/SUNWspro by default and thus does not conflict with anything (read: I have not had a time to play with your package yet)... > Is it appropriate to ask upstream to make this types of modification? > I'm unsure of the likely success I would have in doing such... upstream will not help us here, as this is solaris specific problem, only as soon as the sunwspro will be packaged for let's say ubuntu, then the conflict with binutils will become apparent enough to be treated important... until then we have to cope with it in nexenta... > -Tim HTH, Martin _______________________________________________ gnusol-devel mailing list gnusol-devel@lists.sonic.net http://lists.sonic.net/mailman/listinfo/gnusol-devel
