Wouldn't Replaces: qemu-system-data (<< 1:3.1+dfsg-1) be better? I am not an expert on Debian Policy. https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#conflicting-binary-packages-conflicts https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces I belive the fact it is Replaces, and not Conflict, is ok, just the version constraint is not correct. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages qemu-system-common depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii libc6 2.28-2 ii libcap-ng0 0.7.9-1+b1 ii libcap2 1:2.25-1.2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.1-2 qemu-system-common recommends no packages. qemu-system-common suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
