Well it's not possible, that's why I was asking. =) > The unace-package will be called something like unace2-binary and it > will provide the files /usr/bin/unace and /usr/man/man1/unace.1 (which > will be your manpage revised for unace version 2.xx) among others. > Because we do not want our package to conflict with the free unace in > Debian (your package), but coexist, both of us need to use the > alternatives system for the forementioned files. Well if you are providing a package with different name but same binaries I'd suggest renaming the binaries. Another option would be to dpkg-divert. But I'd really prefer not having to touch the unace package, and you making an unace named package with version 2.20-0, and keep at 0 so if someday it gets released as free software it can be uploaded in debian and will be upgraded correctly. I think that's the most logical option with less overhead on packaging. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
