Your new package (libgssdp-1.0-dev version 0.7.2-2) wants to install a file that is already controlled by a currently installed package (gir-repository- dev version 0:0.6.5-5ubuntu2). The specific file is /usr/share/gir-1.0/GSSDP-1.0.gir. IMO, neither package should install this file. /usr/share/$foo is usually the domain of a package named "$foo". Finally, it appears that you are mixing repositories, which you should only do when you know the combination is safe, due to the policies governing each repository. I can't make a recommendation on how to solve your issue without knowing more about why you are installing a package from a .dsc. However, one way to fix you issue is, prior to building the .deb, to edit debian/rules so that /usr/share/gir-1.0/GSSDP-1.0.gir is not installed. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
