I want the package raidtools to be automatically installed if mdutils is installed. How about this? Package: mdutils Pre-depends: raidtools Package: raidtools Conflicts: mdutils Replaces: mdutils Provides: mdutils This way, as I see it, raidtools will have to be installed before mdutils, and when raidtools is installed, it will deselect mdutils.
