Hello everyone... I have a question. I have recently taken over from Marcelo the WindowMaker packages. In the past these packages have been split between wmaker, wmaker-plain, wmaker-kde, wmaker-gnome. I want to merge all of these packages together. (this does not mean that wmaker is dependant on gnome or kde, has it is just support for window manager hinting for both of these environments, the total cost is less then 50K in the executable). I have changed the control file to have the following lines. Replaces: wmaker-superfluous, wmaker-traditional, wmaker-sound, wmaker-kde, wmak Conflicts: wmaker-superfluous, wmaker-traditional, wmaker-sound, wmaker-kde, wma Provides: wmaker-kde, wmaker-gnome, wmaker-plain Now, when I build the new combined wmaker deb with all of the previous debs installed (wmaker, wmaker-plain, wmaker-kde, wmaker-gnome) it complains about a conflict. First, dpkg checks the wmaker-kde package and determins that it can remove it without a problem, but when it hits the wmaker-gnome package it screams about wmaker and wmaker-gnome being conflicting packages and halts the install. I cannot explain to myself why wmaker-kde would get processed correctly and wmaker-gnome does not. Any ideas? Do you need more information? chris -- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ chris mckillop - cdm@debian.org "The faster I go, the behinder I get."
