-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was trying to upgrade libxml2 to the latest 2.5 version recently so I could install ardour. I created a dummy libxml2 package using equiv-control and equiv-build. The package installed ok, but ardour still failed and I discovered I also needed to replace libxml2-dev, I used the same procedure to create a dummy package for it, but when I tried to install it, dpkg segment faulted. I can do some basic querying like dpkg -L, but if I try to install or remove anything, it seg faults. Even worse, I can't use apt-get anymore since it's complaining about a failed dependency for libxml2-dev since it needs libxml2-2.4.19 and I have libxml2.5.7 installed.
I'm using debian 3.0r1 with a customized linux 2.4.20 kernel. Here is the output created by dpkg -i libxml2-dev_2.5.7_i386.deb: Selecting previously deselected package libxml2-dev.
