Package: x11-common Version: 1:7.0.20 Severity: normal I have a small apt repository at work containing some third-party packages that use /usr/X11R6/bin. How am I supposed to provide a clean upgrade path for my users? If x11-common is upgraded first, it will flame out and die. But there's no way I can ensure that my package is upgraded first by apt-get dist-upgrade. It seems that the only option is to fork x11-common and add my packages to its conflicts, however, this ia a) going to be a horrible pain to maintain and b) doesn't scale to support users who use several different third-party apt repositories. Debian does not normally cause this kind of problem for third party apt repositories. FWIW, if you're handling this case by adding *all* conflicts for third-party packages to the mighty conflicts line of death, the third-party packages in question are: xcalibrate (<= 1.2) xserver-tinyx-fbdev (<= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-5.1) -- see shy jo
