Package: mozilla-firefox-locale-da-dk Severity: serious Hi,
we talked about this earlier today, but on debian-devel (where I asked how to properly do the removal of my own package) I was suggested to file a release-critical bug against mozilla-firefox-locale-da-dk to prevent it from entering sarge without the proper Conflicts/Replaces... I have already filed a bug against my own package for the removal of it. <http://bugs.debian.org/290008> You can see a snippet of the dialog from debian-devel below : ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- On Wednesday 12 January 2005 19:39, Frank Küster wrote: > Frederik Dannemare <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Tuesday 11 January 2005 20:29, Frederik Dannemare wrote: > >> Package in question is mozilla-firefox-locale-da which is to be > >> replaced by mozilla-firefox-locale-da-dk (not maintained by me) > >> from source package mozilla-firefox-locale-all. > >> > >> Unfortunetaly, mozilla-firefox-locale-da and > >> mozilla-firefox-locale-da-dk don't conflict, so users trying to > >> install both will face trouble. > > > > [ snip ] > > > > What I meant to say here was, of course, that the packages do > > indeed conflict/collide - it's just that they don't have a > > Conflicts i their control file.

Actually I spoke with maint. of ..da-dk earlier today and mentioned the problem for him, and he could tell me that he already did a new revision of ..da-dk - only it hadn't been uploaded by his sponsor just yet.
