Package: dpkg Version: 1.10.9 Hello, ...
I have the following problem with one of my packages : ocaml-base provides ocaml-base-3.06 liblablgl-ocaml depends on ocaml-base-3.06 both of these are installed. Now i modified ocaml-base, and changed the provide to ocaml-base-3.06-1. if i install ocaml-base on a clean box, and try to install liblablgl-ocaml it will complain that ocaml-base-3.06 is not installed and refuse to install. Now if i use a box with ocaml-base and liblablgl-ocaml already installed, and install the new ocaml-base (upgrading it), i was expecting dpkg to complain that the old ocaml-base provided ocaml-base-3.06 which is needed by liblablgl-ocaml, and the new ocaml-base is no more providing it. This did not happen, the new ocaml-base installed cleanly, and broke all existing ocaml bytecode packages as well as my ocaml building environment. Friendly, Sven Luther
