You can make them conflict with emacs23-lucid and emacs23-nox, I suppose this will work. However, there is a more compelling reason to add the Provides field. With it, "aptitude full-upgrade" should be able to figure out that emacs23 supersedes emacs23-gtk and install emacs23, something that it does not do currently. I had to manually install emacs23 instead. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
