Yes, you will still need a conflict/replaces, otherwise a package upgrade might go wrong when someone has libcvc3-5-dev installed and tries to install the new libcvc3-dev. I am not sure whether this applies to your case but if you just drop generation of a binary package from a source package, but keep the source package, then old versions of the previous binary package should be automatically purged by the archive maintenance software. So there should be no need to ask ftp masters for removal. -Ralf. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
