tags 550380 + patch pending
thanks
Hi Jonas,
I've been looking through all the intertwined bug related to the file
conflict among imap servers.
As of now, all except uw-imapd are fine in the sense that they all both
provide and conflicts "imap-server"; so, among that set, no file
overwrite installation error is possible. It is still possible among
them and uw-imap, as you recently acknowledged in this bug report.
Just because I've the context clear, I've took the freedom to do a very
long delayed upload (12 days at the moment) which fixed the issue for
uw-imapd, therefore putting a end to this issue :-) The patch is
attached, it simply tell CDBS to fill the appropriate Provides (as you
were using CDBS already for some other inter-package relationships).
Let me know if you want me to cancel the delayed NMU or if you will
anyhow upload a fixed version of yours before my upload expires.
See you soon,
Cheers.
