Think about it, have you ever been able to have two versions of the same package installed no matter what the source package name was? > For #982059 yes, but if you perform an update from stable (without > psmic involved) then the other breaks is needed as well, see #959846. > Let's have a look at #959846... manpages-de: missing Breaks+Replaces: manpages-de-dev (<< 4) manpages-de-***dev*** is the conflicting package name. So yes, you should have something about manpages-de-dev otherwise you get: dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/manpages-de_4.0.0-3_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/de/man4/console_ioctl.4.gz', which is also in package manpages-de-dev 2.12-1 And probably other problems too. If you can find a reference somewhere where changing the source package means you need something for the corresponding binary package of the same name, I'm happy to see it but I've never seen that before. - Craig
