I believe so, yes. ...but even if I believe it technically will work, I suspect unversioned Breaks is unorthodox and might trigger lintian warnings or worse. To be on the safe side a versioned Breaks should work just as well (since we do not expect a newer liblog-any-adapter-perl to ever emerge) and follow Policy recommendations more closely. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
