I made a automake1.6-1.6.1-2mdk (with the patch I posted) and then made a automake1.6-1.6.1-3mdk (raised the release number). The upgrade from 1mdk to 2mdk to 3mdk worked fine. The conflicts is only for everything lower than the %version, which is what we actually want. It does not affect the current version. If there wouldn't be a version on the Conflicts then it wouldn't work. Stefan
