Hi, Andreas. Thanks for reporting this. Adding "Breaks" against those packages seems to suffice. I needed to make them versioned, so only apply to old standalone packages (they are now virtual packages provided by other packages) > This is needed for a clean upgrade path of long grown systems ... Agreed. I think a fix for this deserves asking for a freeze exception. > I can help testing the fix if you put the .deb and a corresponding > Packages file somewhere. I have put a release candidate at deb http://people.debian.org/~agmartin/debian-store/experimental ./ Repo is signed with my gpg key (4597A593) available from the Debian keyring. While there are other experimental stuff there, it should not affect the test. I have tested a lenny->squeeze->wheezy update in a chroot and things seem to work as expected. However, since I am considering to ask for a freeze exception I'd appreciate if this fix is tested separately by you in a system similar to that used to find the bug report.
