This issue is long standing, see the list of bug reports for ftp.debian.org, there are several describing this. I don't understand why aren't they getting resolved. Perhaps the FTP admins would better prefer if people mailed them exact diffs against the override file? One sub-question: do we still need the `base' section? I say ditch it, it doesn't represent the base system anymore... > . What about packages that share files but don't define a > conflict or replaces? Most of these are detected and filed as RC bugs, because dpkg from unstable has --force-overwrite disabled, and installations of such packages fail. Someone could write a script to find this out, though, but I don't know how hard would it be, and how successful (think diversions). -- enJoy -*/\*- don't even try to pronounce my first name
