This requires action switching in dpkg:
dpkg -i a.deb b.deb # install a b dpkg -i a.deb b.deb -r c d # install a.deb, b.deb, remove c and d Then we could drop all that complexity from our layer, and have the same ordering for other package managers such as cupt or smart as well. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
