The script 'debian-edu-bless' uses tasksel to install packages, so debian-edu-tasks.desc is involved as well: Both the meta-package listed as Key and all packages in the Packages list are installed. The meta-package handles alternatives as usual (these are taken from the tasks file as is). Only if _all_ alternatives are installed because they belong to the Packages list and if there are conflicting ones among them, the installation breaks. We decided to drop the conflicting atftpd package to get feedback if the installation would be successful. > IMO it would not be a good solution to just limit the packages to the > first alternative, since that would break the idea of alternatives. Sure, but see above. I'm pretty sure once the Packages list has been dropped, re-adding Recommends: tfptd-hpa | atftpd to tasks/main-server would do no harm. Thanks for taking your time, Wolfgang
