Hi Eric,

Since all seems ok, I've not removed it. https://wiki.debian.org/Autoreconf I was talking more about removing autotools-dev >In addition, I've just asked them to post their ask on this list now. nice! > > > 3) +Replaces: gnustep-common (<< 2.6.8-1) > > this is something I don't understand. If you upgrade gnustep make bin package with old gnustep-common installed, we need to replace the gnustep-config.1 manpage. that file is currently inside gnustep-common and you moved into gnustep-make https://packages.debian.org/sid/alpha/gnustep-common/filelist you probably need some more keywords to ensure a good upgrade path https://wiki.debian.org/PackageTransition >Yes, this is a consequence of the debian/rules rewriting. line 25, you could add something like "remove control.in file, useless now" or similar wording, that one was my question >I tested it with latest upstream version of gnustep-base, gnustep-gui >and and gnustep-back, >and all seems okay.
