Thanks for your work on this. > I've pushed the changes to the Debian Med repository and the package > builds correctly using pbuilder on my machine. I assume that this new upstream release closes both bugs listed here http://bugs.debian.org/src:clinica Is this correct? If yes, please add according Closes statements to the changelog entry (Closes: #707361, #709719). > It would be nice if someone could give a look and briefly review my > work.

Provides is used if you are introducing a virtual package which in this case IMHO does not make sense because as far as I can see only clinica itself profits from this package and no other package inside the Debian package pool. So finally you could add Replaces: gir1.2-clinica-0.2 Finally if you really want to make sure that gir1.2-clinica-0.2 will be removed from users harddisk you are free to add Conflicts: gir1.2-clinica-0.2 as well - finally it is your own decision as developer. On the other hand modern install tools will detect if a package was just installed as a dependency of another package and will remove / suggest to remove gir1.2-clinica-0.2 anyway. Just tell me what you think and I could upload the package. I can confirm that it builds at my side.
