Hey, folks. I maintain the GIMP set of packages, which until version 0.99.18 consisted of a main gimp package, a required gimp-data-min package (with separate source) and other sundry packages.
The upstream 0.99.19 version has absorbed the gimp-data-min package into the main gimp source. To accomodate this, I added gimp-data-min to the Conflicts:, Replaces:, and Provides: lines in debian/control: Package: gimp Architecture: any Section: graphics Conflicts: gimp-smotif, gimp-dmotif, gimp099, gimp-data-min Replaces: gimp-smotif, gimp-dmotif, gimp099, gimp-data-min Provides: gimp-data-min but dpkg will not install the resultant gimp package without --auto-deconfigure specified to let it deconfigure the old gimp and remove the old gimp-data-min and then install the new gimp. Am I doing something wrong, or is --auto-deconfigure going to be required here? Ben -- Brought to you by the letters A and R and the number 13. "I'm calling from the plane.
