I thought the "Replaces:" implied the removal of the package before installation?
It should not be possible to reinstall ppp if isp-ppp is installed without it being automatically removed (as per the "Replaces:" in isp-ppp). This might be an issue for dpkg. I wonder why I dont get these bug reports except through the webpages on debian.org? {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} {} Snail Mail: FTS Box 466, 135 N.Oakland Ave, Pasadena, CA 91182 {} {} FISH Internet System Administrator at Fuller Theological Seminary {} {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} PGP Public Key = FB 9B 31 21 04 1E 3A 33 C7 62 2F C0 CD 81 CA B5
