First of all, thanks for the response. My case is a 7.5.2 case, not a 7.5.1 case. bar Conflicts with foo (<< 2.0) so the meaning of 'Replaces' would be to tell dpkg not to abort when bar 2.0 is installed and foo 1.0 is already present. What I am not sure about is whether adding 'Replaces' would have other unwanted effects. -- Thomas Hood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
