Also, people upgrading from woody won't automatically get swami when they previous had smurf. I suggest, possibly after discussing with -devel or -mentors mailinglist, to provide a dummy smurf package depending on swami. Too bad swami now conflicts with smurf, that prohibits a sane upgrade path. I must be missing something, but I don't understand why swami conflicts smurf. Conflicts in general make upgrading harder, and should typically be prevented. Please don't discuss this issue further in this bug without reassigning it back to smurf first, as said above, you can ask -mentors or -devel for advice on how to go further. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
