That's fine. I didn't know the state of jabber-muc, and didn't see any indication that Harald Braumann was coordinating with you, so I thought I would mention it. > However, more to the point, I don't see why the two packages couldn't > use the same user.

That is the conclusion reached by the thread, but it won't work if jabber-common removes the user during purge. Having the new package conflict with jabber-common won't work, either, as pointed out previously in this thread (and is against policy, anyway, IIUC). The only reason I am involved in this thread is that because of it, I noticed that jabber-common was going to remove its user on purge, and I think that is a bug (that will affect me), so I reported it. IANADD, but a number of DD's have the same opinion. ...Marvin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
