This is somewhat annoying because I want my package to be named Qmail and have version number 1.03-patched. If I do this then non of the packages that depends on qmail-1.03-zarge1 can install. So what I really want is some way of mapping the version number of the old package to a new one. Writing Provides: qmail (1.03-zarge1) in the control file does not seam to do the trick Anyway thanks for the feed back, it is not a huge problem and there are other ways around it (like compiling depended packages by hand) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
