It was a poor choice of Ubuntu to diverge here... anyway I agree that at this point it's best if Debian updates his package to use the new path. It should however add some transition symlink /usr/share/php/smarty/libs -> /usr/share/php/smarty to avoid breaking instantly. But this won't work automatically if plugins are installed in libs/plugins/. You will have to add a preinst snippet that moves files around... However when you do that, please inform me as smarty-gettext and smarty-validate will have to be updated at the same time. You should add Breaks: smarty-gettext (<= 1.0b1-3), smarty-validate (<= 2.9-1) to ensure that those package are updated at the same time (the minimal version might need to be updated when you do it) Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Contribuez à Debian et gagnez un cahier de l'admin Debian Lenny : http://www.ouaza.com/wp/2009/03/02/contribuer-a-debian-gagner-un-livre/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
