curious. does it use autoup or just mention it?
did you include my patch to fix the "allow overwrite" option? it's
a simple one line addition....i've just made the change manually
on every system i have installed it on. it is needed on systems
running recent versions of dpkg (since 1.4.0.19 i believe) which have
--refuse-overwrite by default. The previous behaviour was to have
--force-overwrite as the default. My patch makes it work correctly
regardless of what dpkg's default behaviour is.
i didn't post it directly to you, but to debian-devel back in Feb.
here's what i wrote back then:
I had to modify /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/install after dpkg got upgraded to
1.4.0.20 so that the "allowoverwrite=1" option still worked.
