Either: package A must depend on package B which contains the scripts or packages A and B must depend on package C which contains the scripts. You cannot ship two copies of the same script in two packages without setting the packages to conflict (or replace). dpkg-divert is for when two packages provide two different scripts with the same name, typically where one extends the other as with binutils and binutils-multiarch. Alternatives doesn't fit either because those are for different scripts with different names but common functionality. > Can I mark them as "common", or do I need to split them into a > "mogile-server-common" package? C == foo-common in such a case. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
