Then this is a release critical bug in the newer package, ..da-dk. You should file this bug and prevent the buggy version from entering sarge. It is not sufficient to remove your old package from the archive, because user will still have installed it and get in trouble. Instead, a new revision of the ..da-dk package must be uploaded that has proper Conflicts. Will you file the bug? Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
