That's true. For instance, libnspr4-0d 4.7.1-3 to 4.8.4-1 had such conflicts. Release-wise, this means the conflict was there in Lenny only. (libnspr4-dev had a conflict on libnspr4 before that, but that can't really count) > Accordingly, neither libnspr4 nor libnss3 show up on > http://popcon.debian.org/unknown/by_inst, so I think leaving out the > epoch is fine. Not sure if dak will agree, though. They actually show up in http://popcon.debian.org/by_inst.gz 22166 libnspr4 106 1 0 0 105 (Not in sid) 22613 libnss3 101 5 12 0 84 (Not in sid) Sounds like it would be safer to go with an epoch.
