Which one is identical to the current abiword package? (Or better yet, what's the better/most desirable/most appealing/most likely to fit everyone's preference/... one? I'll assume it's abiword-xml for the purpose of this discussion) Just do this: Package: abiword Provides: abiword-xml Conflicts: abiword-xml Replaces: abiword-xml Depends: abiword-common, ... Package: abiword-expat Provides: abiword Conflicts: abiword Depends: abiword-common, ... Package: abiword-common Conflicts: abiword (<< someversion) Depends: abiword, ... where someversion is the version where abiword-common was introduced. Don't use a Depends: abiword (>= someversion) because dpkg doesn't have (or has always had) versioned provides. -- Marcelo
