So you'd probably want
Replaces: bluefish, bluefish-gnome2, bluefish-gnome2-novfs, bluefish-gnomevfs2 ( << 1.0.7-1) Conflicts: bluefish, bluefish-gnome2, bluefish-gnomevfs2 ( << 1.0.7-1 ) (I picked a revision of 1 just in case a 10.3 version is in the offing, since the change comes at a new version). That way the older versions will Conflict/Replace as required, and the dummy upgrade package can sit there. "fink cleanup" can clean out obsolete packages as long as nothing else depends on them, and such packages don't take up much disk space, so trying to remove them as part of the update is more trouble that it's worth. -- Alexander K.
