I think it can be done with Replaces/Provides/Conflicts. - Did you try with "Provides: irda-common, irda-tools" - What does apt say if you do the dist-upgrade from woody to sid/sarge with /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10debug containing Debug { pkgProblemResolver "true"; pkgAcquire "false"; pkgAcquire::Worker "false"; pkgDPkgPM "false"; pkgOrderList "false"; pkgInitialize "false"; // This one will dump the configuration space NoLocking "false"; Acquire::Ftp "false"; // Show ftp command traffic Acquire::Http "false"; // Show http command traffic aptcdrom "false"; // Show found package files } Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster, Biozentrum der Univ.
