The reason not to conflict with libkrb53 was because people may want to keep it for the Kerberos v4 libraries. When upgrading from lenny to squeeze, the only way to keep Kerberos v4 libraries around if you want them is to leave the lenny libkrb53 installed, since there's no other lenny package that ships the Kerberos v4 libraries. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
