I did, and that's why I can now tell you what was the source of all this mess :-P I was also in the need of installing a dhcp client package -the client part in my case- and fell into this. >> The changelog reflects the changes done in a package while in this case >> there two packages providing the same service, so deciding what to keep >> and what to install is up to the user/admin. > > Normaly I would agree but in this case the upgrade changed dhcp3-server > into isc-dhcp-server for me.

This is a dummy package to aid in transitioning from the v3 DHCP packages to the new-style DHCP packages. This dummy package may be safely removed after upgrading to squeeze *** :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
