Hi, I have a package 'liba52-0.7.4-dev' that provides/conflicts/replaces 'liba52-dev'. There is also a 'liba52-0.7.3' with the same provide etc. The problem is I cannot install the newer package:
zodiac:/home/micce# LANG=C dpkg -i liba52-0.7.4-dev_0.7.4-1_i386.deb dpkg: regarding liba52-0.7.4-dev_0.7.4-1_i386.deb containing liba52-0.7.4-dev: liba52-0.7.4-dev conflicts with a52dec liba52-0.7.3-dev provides a52dec and is installed. dpkg: error processing debian/UPLOAD/a52dec/liba52-0.7.4-dev_0.7.4-1_i386.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing liba52-0.7.4-dev Errors were encountered while processing: debian/UPLOAD/a52dec/liba52-0.7.4-dev_0.7.4-1_i386.deb zodiac:/home/micce# How should this be handled? Is is unavoidable that liba52-0.7.3-dev is first removed?
