I think we have enough time to wait for poppler maintainer to come up with post freeze fixes. Let's keep this on BTS so everyone sees and make poppler maintainer reminded about our issues. Michael, as I discussed previously, do you have any particular reason to keep insisting to use versioned "Conflicts"? Policy 3.9.1 and new lintian seems to suggest to use Breaks. http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-breaks If we are to make this change, isn't it better to use Breaks? It looks like pending fix is in old style. Also why do half-job when we see: I retitled following bug and set to normal. Debian Bug report logs - #558021 poppler-utils: should use versioned Conflicts: with xpdf-reader http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=558021 This is Michael's bug report sitting as pending: Debian Bug report logs - #586620 poppler-utils: should not conflict with xpdf-utils > 3.02-2 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=586620 Both of these uses old style. I mention these as reminder to poppler maintainer. Osamu I suggest following fix against current unstable package using Breaks: ------------------- --- control.old 2010-08-07 23:58:15.522931580 +0900 +++ control 2010-08-08 00:03:02.086990481 +0900 @@ -131,11 +131,12 @@ Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Recommends: ghostscript -Conflicts: xpdf-utils, - pdftohtml (<< 0.36-14) -Replaces: xpdf-utils, - pdftohtml, - xpdf-reader +Breaks: xpdf-utils (<< 3.02-9), + pdftohtml (<< 0.36-14), + xpdf-reader (<< 3.02-9) +Replaces: xpdf-utils (<< 3.02-9), + pdftohtml (<< 0.36-14), + xpdf-reader (<< 3.02-9) Provides: xpdf-utils, pdftohtml Description: PDF utilitites (based on libpoppler) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
