You might try making a package with the same name, using the equivs package. There are sample control files with the equivs package. I have done this when I had the same sort of problem you are experiencing and it usually worked. The package will be a fake package but it should overwrite the broken one, then you can remove the fake package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
