See 7.5.2 under http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces > Then, what would you do? Would you upgrade xinetd and remove > openbsd-inetd? Or wait for future versions for this conflict to be > solved? For non-experts, it is a dilemma. This conflict will stay. You use (install) either one or the other, that's all (and the other goes away if it was installed previously). You could check the bugs for each package, the frequency of uploads, and so on, to make your choice (at first glance, I'd choose xinetd). BTW, this kind of questions could be directed to debian-user, that has little to do with release management (or eventually debian-devel). Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois
