If you Depend on curl >= 7.4.2-2, then you don't need to also Conflict with older curl. > the correct relation should be this: > ( curl(=7.4.2-2) AND libcurl0-ssl(=7.4.2-2) ) OR ( curl(>=7.5-1) AND > libcurl1-ssl(>=7.5-1) ) > > can be this relation achieved someway? Using Boolean logic this transforms to: Depends: curl (= 7.4.2-2) | curl (>= 7.5-1), libcurl0-ssl (= 7.4.2-2) | curl (>= 7.5-1), curl (= 7.4.2-2) | libcurl1-ssl (>= 7.5-1), libcurl0-ssl (= 7.4.2-2) | libcurl1-ssl (>= 7.5-1) The first clause can be simplified to "curl (>= 7.4.2-2)" if there were no versions in between. Doesn't each version of curl Depend on the library it needs? In that case it simplifies to: Depends: curl (>= 7.4.2-2) > another point. potato has a 6.0-xxx series of curl packages, at that time > libcurl was not even a separate package so the upgrade from potato shouldn't > have all this mess. all this work could be a waste of time, since some > upgrade problems in woody are ok since it is "testing". Then I don't think it's worth the complication. Richard Braakman
