Please use << versioning for Conflicts/Replaces (i.e. Conflict/Replace
anything before the version in which you made the change) rather than <=
versioning (in which you Conflict/Replace only the previous version you
know about and earlier). This takes account of external versions of your
package; for instance, Ubuntu had 0.11.1-1.5ubuntu1, and so ended up
failing to upgrade:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/elinks/+bug/215611
The attached patch adjusts the package relationships to cope (and I
think is the normal way most Debian maintainers work anyway; certainly I
use << versioning for this sort of thing when I have my Debian hat on).
Thanks,
