This is not feasible on the long run, as Karl has explained. > We need to alter the binary package, I guess. No, the reliable way to do it is to modify xorg's debian/control file, but IIUC Karl thinks this is not a modification worth doing. FWIW, these extra Conflicts: are obsolete for Debian too AFAICT, so it wouldn't hurt filing a wishlist bug with a request to remove them. > Can't that be done by patching it with a script rather than > rebuilding it? No, that's (practically) possible in certain situations, but that way leads to madness and all kinds of problems that are hard to debug/analyze/fix. The way to tweak package relationships is to edit debian/control and rebuild the source package (there are variable substitutions performed at build time, so any (semi-)automatic "patching" is likely to fail, sometimes in mysterious ways). _______________________________________________ gNewSense-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
