Hello List
I have two sets of packages: A1,A2.. and B1,B2,B3... which each provides a
working system (in this case a database) and conflict to each other.
My intend was now to show the user - when he tries to update just one
component - that that is not possible and he should update all or nothing.
Therefore I make every A* packet depend on A1 and every B* packet on B1 and
let them conflict. (I would have this situation anyways).
The Problem is now that when installing say B2 it first tries to overwrite
an A* packet and *then* complains about the conflicting dependencies.
Of course B2 can not be allowed to overwrite any of the A* packets but
I get many bugreports now that claims this behaviour as bugs :-(
read you,
