hey d-d, in sarge, the nagios-plugins is a single monolithic package with a number of plugins and config files (mostly with a 1:1 mapping). in sid/etch, the nagios-plugins package is split into two packages, nagios-plugins-basic, nagios-plugins-standard, each of which contains a subset of the original plugins and config files from the sarge nagios-plugins package. additionally, there's a transitional metapackage nagios-plugins which depends on the other two, so that sarge users have a clean transitional path. the problem is that doing an upgrade from sarge->etch users will reliably get stopped with a dpkg "this file has changed" prompt. i *thought* that i did the appropriate stuff: nagios-plugins: Depends: nagios-plugins-basic, nagios-plugins-standard nagios-plugins-basic: Replaces: nagios-plugins, nagios-plugins-standard Conflicts: nagios-plugins (<= 1.4.2-3) nagios-plugins-standard: Replaces: nagios-plugins Conflicts: nagios-plugins (<= 1.4.2-3) where the version of nagios-plugins in sarge is < 1.4.2-3. so the question is: what am i forgetting to do? i'm guessing that the problem has something to do with the original package still being present (as a metapackage)? input appreciated, sean
