-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I use equivs to replace debian packages, for lots of reasons (need a newer version of a package, or in case of mta, I like to have better control of how the qmail package is installed).
The problem is that the already installed debian package is not removed when I try to install my debian package, and the system complains about conflicts. For instance, I create my qmail package using the mta control file in /usr/share/doc/equivs/examples. When I try to install the new qmail package, it won't uninstall exim and install my qmail package. If I uninstall exim first, then lots of other stuff gets uninstalled (mailx etc). Right now, I do a force install on my qmail package, and then uninstall exim, which works, but isn't an optimal way to do it. What entries am I missing in the deb control file? I try adding "Replaces" keyword, but it didn't have any effect. - -- John_________________________________________________________________ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quis custodiet ipsos custodes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAj+Pr8oACgkQkz0vhQtHHRhaPQCg0ZkOjzgyPfLP5b8VWftm8Ioc DuMAmwYwaI7H/nMSEBVpDnPJzXibYe5l =Oiea -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
