Re: Which how to for apt-get repository on CentOS?
Finally it works!
The problem was that if you have a tag in the control file like
Conflicts: with no value it will not warn you and will tell you (far)
downstream that something is wrong with dependencies but that is all.
So the problem was simply a Conflicts: with no values. Removed it and
it all works now.
Thanks to all for your patience and advice.
