$ dpkg --compare-versions 2.7-3 lt 2.7-KDE3; echo $? 0 $ So using an upstream version of 2.7-KDE3 would be fine. If you think the new version is different enough (i.e., incompatible), you could change the package name. If you keep the same package name and bump the upstream version, you would reset the Debian version to 1, giving you kdclabel_2.7-KDE3-1. Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
