i need to put a "Conflicts: curl-ssl(<7.6-2)" in the control file of
my curl package since the curl-ssl packages newer then 7.6-2 know how
to handle the co-existence.
now reading the packaging manual i found this writing:
"A Conflicts entry should almost never have an `earlier than' version
clause. This would prevent dpkg from upgrading or installing the package
which declared such a conflict until the upgrade or removal of the
conflicted-with package had been completed. This aspect of installation
ordering is not handled by dselect, so that the use Conflicts in this
way is likely to cause problems for `bulk run' upgrades and
installations."
now i'm not really undestanding the point, is it telling me i'm going
to have problems during upgrade? what does it mean "bulk run"?
please help me interpreting it correctly.
thanks
