Hello, could we please get this fixed for squeeze? dpkg 1.15.8.4 introduced additional warnings that are triggered on every apt-get update: ---------------------- Replacing available packages info, using /var/cache/apt/available. warning, in file '/var/cache/apt/available' near line 621485 package 'scribble': `Replaces' field, reference to `scrabble': `<' is obsolete, use `<=' or `<<' instead warning, in file '/var/cache/apt/available' near line 621486 package 'scribble': `Conflicts' field, reference to `scrabble': `<' is obsolete, use `<=' or `<<' instead Information about 29960 package(s) was updated. ---------------------- Afaiui dpkg 1.15.8.4 is targeted for squeeze. I tend to think it might be a good idea to save our users this error message by fixing scribble. Cc-ing -release to get confirmation that a minimal fix would be acceptable for sqeeze. thanks, cu andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
