Package: amule-utils
Version: 2.1.2-1
Severity: serious
Hello,
in the latest upload, some files were moved from amule-common to
amule-utils, but no Replaces field was introduced. For things to work in
all scenarios, amule-utils _must_ Replaces: amule-common (<< 2.1.2-1).
See for example:
ii amule-common 2.1.1-3 common
files for aMule
ii amule-utils 2.1.1-3
utilities for amule
% sudo dpkg --unpack amule-utils_2.1.2-1_i386.deb amule-common_2.1.2-1_all.deb

Errors were encountered while processing:
amule-utils_2.1.2-1_i386.deb
Note that, even though amule-utils Depends: amule-common (= ${Source-Version}),
this does not guarantee that amule-common will be unpacked before, _only_ that
amule-common will be configured before amule-utils is configured.
It'd be nice to get this fixed before dinstall, let me know if you'd welcome a
NMU.
Thanks,
