Hello, we currently have: Package: libfl-dev Replaces: flex (<< 2.5.39), flex-old (<= 2.5.4a-10) Breaks: flex (<< 2.5.39), flex-old (<= 2.5.4a-10) However afaict there are no plans for splitting flex-old into flex-old and libfl-old-dev so this file conflict is permanent, i.e. libfl-dev should use unversioned Conflicts instead of versioned Breaks. On sidenote I think flex should Conflict with flex-old like flex-old does. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
