problem replacing package
Hello,
I would like to compile some packages optimised for my processor. I have k6
at home and pentiumII at work, and would like to speed up some programs
running on those.
I'd like to do it that way that my package would not cause any conflicts,
and would not be automatically replacedm therefore I think it would be best
to name these packages like "$package-$cpu"
Problem:
I tried to unpack libogg0 package, change its name to libogg0-k6, and add
these to control file:
Provides: libogg0
Replaces: libogg0
Conflicts: libogg0
However, when trying to install this, i got some errors about other packages
depending on libogg0, thus libogg0 was not removed, and my package was not
installed.
I thought that if my package provides libogg0, it could be installed and
replace libogg0 without any problems. What do I wrong?
Another question - is this enough? Do I need to change any of
dpkg-architecture variables, or are they here only for defining the base
architecture (i386 even for pentiumII or k6 processors)?
Thanks much
