I'm not sure and will try to clarify this by trying to reproduce. Note I was "playing" with the fusionforge-plugin-scmgit package at the same time, which wraps gitweb so that the git repos of fusionforge projects can be browsed on the web. Maybe the problem is actually in the fusionforge plugin. I'm afraid there hasn't been enough coordination between fusionforge maintainers and gitweb's :-/ However, I'm a bit curious about that Replaces statement, and more generally about the fact that most useful files of gitweb are part of the git package. My naive assumptions would be that the perl parts which are platform independant can be part of the gitweb binary package, also the /usr/share/gitweb contents would be part of gitweb and not git, in a usual manner... but maybe I've overlooked some parts of the issues. Thanks in advance.
