If there is a Package public available and if there are several conflicts they have to be marked in the package who has the conflict otherwise the package is buggy. > Someone asked me the other day if I thought they should use unstable > instead of testing.

Do you realy know the kind of what the different Releases are? For people who want a stable distribution there is only "stable" ak woody as this is the only Release were you will have security updates near to the report. For people using sid or sarge this iss a mess as sarge get fixed at the latest point. So sarge (ak "testing") is nothing for normal users. Also sarge could have sometimes also unstabilities than sid. For using sid. you are right that there can be unstabilitities or packageproblemes. But there is the bug tracking system to report such and have the maintainer give a chance to fix it for making it better. If everybody whould use sarge then critical and important bugs whould be found in this release and not in sid. So, just open your eyes for bugs and just fix it (It is only ONE line in the control file Do I have to write it for you?) There is nothing about what quality a other package has there is only the issue of a conflict which is not written down in the control file and so apt cannot see this error when selecting packages and, moreover, the upgrade stopps with this package and let several other packages stay unconfigured (So the bug has to be severity "critical"!) Gruß Klaus Ps. Lets have also some offtoppic here: I think when people ask me why NOT using debian I whould show them this thread to see how hoity-toity the "distribution" is and how elitist some maintainers are. - -- Klaus Ethgen http://www.ethgen.de/ pub 2048R/D1A4EDE5 2000-02-26 Klaus Ethgen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fingerprint: D7 67 71 C4 99 A6 D4 FE EA 40 30 57 3C 88 26 2B -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBQnHWFZ+OKpjRpO3lAQJBiwf+OHWskhKsZ3fuOPJ9+gGyTeuq/YVbRri5 M5w5YXx00rABd3ggCenzgidUPaQ0suEUPO2sCo1PWiO85QtGvHCqW9QKHHFWmKr7 dXpHn642EscfD4ANoYZ0y61z0OPn45ah93lELdvbe7ohhKfiJv5omRNDpDoBn/rU Hxjk1lumnh7X6MQfkndRvPfpbearxYzxTdKy/wJJUaZ9XInhUuqfdxB6Adw4745H SE7hNibc2FjA6PszNSlRf7FGTFuuHFhLQKjjZ1afMyFpOo7Bd2CiZreUhCczscwx sH6bECVJwp5qtiOgQ7CnZ7OKga9YXrizBYgq84j3f9C9q35g96IdoA== =xyhl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
