Package: dpkg
Version: 1.0.8
I installed the man package (2.3.10-6) succesfully. After that I tried
to upgrade the libgdbm1 package (1.7.3-8). During installation of
libgdbm1 dpkg reports about libgdbm1 conflicting with man (<2.3.10-6)
and that man (version 2.3.10-5) is installed.
- Why is it reporting the wrong version of an installed package and
therefore the conflict?
