We need some more information to understand what has happened, could you please provide? (See questions below). apt fails to install because of the file conflict (see subject). - What package does apt fail to install, kontact or kontact-plugins? (I assume kontact-plugins, but just to make sure...) - Why were you installing kontact-plugins? Did you 'apt-get install kontact-plugins'? If so, why? Or, perhaps some other package depended on it. If so, which package? - 'kontact-plugins' is no longer in the Debian archive, where did you get it from?: (a) What does 'apt-cache policy kontact-plugins' say? (b) What do you have in /etc/apt/sources.list? Once we get to know the above, we'll be in a position to see who is at fault here.

I'm CCing Ben. The material from the old kontact-plugins package is now part of kontact. Kontact has the correct Replaces: line; since it replaces the kontact-plugins package completely I assume it needs a Conflicts: as well? I'm not sure - I always confuse Replaces/Conflicts/etc In this case you need the magic tuple of Provides/Conflicts/Replaces - this lets dpkg seamlessly overwrite files without complaint. Uhm, when a package disappears (kontact-plugins), Replaces should be enough. This is so because it is _not_ expected that users re-install the old package (because replaces only works one way, that is, installing the replacing package works, (re)installing the replaced one does not). Before adding Conflicts/Provides, I'm going to ask the submitter _why_ and from _where_ he was installing kontact-plugins. From the error message in the original subject, one can deduce (or at least, that's how I interpret it) that kontact was already installed and properly configured... (so, the upgrade went fine). We'll see, thanks. -- Adeodato Simó EM: asp16 [ykwim] alu.ua.es | PK: DA6AE621 Listening to: Manolo Tena - Loco por verte You cannot achieve the impossible without attempting the absurd. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi ho, Uhm, when a package disappears (kontact-plugins), Replaces should be enough. My understanding is that Replaces is used when some files move from one package to another (as happens all the time with kdelibs, base, office, etc), whereas Conflicts/Replaces is used when one package completely replaces another (as is the case here). A rereading of policy confirms my belief in this. At any rate: why are you opposed to adding the Conflicts? I don't see how it can possibly hurt in any way.
