I think that the Conflicts is correct, because this is really what happens. Both libcolamd-3.2.0_3.2.0-2 and libsuitesparse-3.2.0_3.2.0-1 cannot be installed together. On the other hand, I think that the Replaces is perhaps inappropriate because libcolamd-3.2.0 does not replace the whole libsuitesparse-3.2.0 package. Do you think it will be okay if I add just the Conflicts stanza? -- Rafael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
