The hard part is to find out, when to do it. FWIW, another packages of the pkg-utopia group (dbus) uses the same remove/insert approach [1][2] If it's a requirement with the way you describe, for the new avahi package to transition to testing, should we also prepare an update for dbus? Cheers, Michael [1] http://bugs.debian.org/466503 [2] It would be interesting to know, how many packages do it this way, after Petter has been filing bugs especially for this issue. Checking my local system, I found gdm, hotkey-setup, (avahi-daemon, dbus), nfs-common, util-linux, sudo. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
