When I build the debs, I'm not given an option to specify 'Conflicts:' Do you have any idea where that goes?
These are the instructions that I have to build the debs. Please note that the last step is where I set up the name and version number information. ./configure --prefix=/usr Prepare the files necessary to compile the theme make Compile the theme sudo checkinstall --fstrans=no --install=no Check and make sure that all is okay. This will also create a .deb file Thanks, On Tue, 2008-11-18 at 09:11 +0000, Christian Wolf wrote: > The error message says that an error occured while trying to overwrite > »/usr/share/themes/nimbus/metacity-1/button-close-icon-prelight.png«, > which is part of package gtk2-engines-nimbus, and therefore the dpkg-deb > process paste was killed with signal broken pipe. > > If you add > > Conflicts: gtk2-engines-nimbus > > to the control file, gtk2-engines-nimbus will be removed from aptitude > before installation of your package is possible, so the error would not > occur (at least I think that will happen, have not tried :-) ) > > The other question is wether your package name (nimbus) or gtk2-engines- > nimbus follows the standards for package names of desktop themes - a > question I have no answer for.
