You analysis is right, this is impossible. I tried it (and you, too) some time after chrisp left, and already then (with only two packages) it was impossible, without --force-depends.Ben: Thanks for the update. I'm somewhat at a loss of how to proceed with a 4.3.0 package. Since it contains thread support, it should replace both xfree86-base and xfree86-base-threaded. At the same time, I'd like to merge the -base and -rootless variants. So, the new package should replace xfree86-base, -base-threaded, -rootless and -rootless-threaded. Unfortunately, with all the intertwined dependencies I think this is impossible. So, I think we may have to resort to telling people to use the dreaded "dpkg -r --force-depends" in order to make this transition. Have you found a way around this with your experimental package?
Cheers,
Max
