I believe he's only suggesting that having a package installed with a Conflict: is harder to break (even by mistake) than just some apt preferences, and that it's better to lock things at the level of dpkg than at the level of apt, aptitude, deslect, synaptic or whatever. I by the way agree. I don't know where you've found the "dpkg would sneak" thing... +1 for uploading systemd-must-die +1 for keeping the name which is funny +1 for a free beer for you, Thorsten, if you come to Portland :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
