Finally it works! The problem was that if you have a tag in the control file like Conflicts: with no value it will not warn you and will tell you (far) downstream that something is wrong with dependencies but that is all. So the problem was simply a Conflicts: with no values. Removed it and it all works now.
Thanks to all for your patience and advice. -- IV On Mon, May 10, 2010 at 11:29 PM, Ignacio Valdes <[email protected]> wrote: > This is a vexing problem.
