Uhm, when a package disappears (kontact-plugins), Replaces should be enough. This is so because it is _not_ expected that users re-install the old package (because replaces only works one way, that is, installing the replacing package works, (re)installing the replaced one does not). Before adding Conflicts/Provides, I'm going to ask the submitter _why_ and from _where_ he was installing kontact-plugins. From the error message in the original subject, one can deduce (or at least, that's how I interpret it) that kontact was already installed and properly configured... (so, the upgrade went fine). We'll see, thanks. -- Adeodato Simó EM: asp16 [ykwim] alu.ua.es | PK: DA6AE621 Listening to: Manolo Tena - Loco por verte You cannot achieve the impossible without attempting the absurd. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
