Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-01-27 Severity: wishlist
I had the idea someone could perhaps provide a package that consists of nothing else than a "Conflicts:" line and that conflicts with every package that was in potato but is not in woody. This would be an easy way for a system administrator to get rid of obsolete packages like e.g. gzilla and emacs19 by doing a simple "apt-get install cleanup-woody". Notes: - there might be better names for the package than "cleanup-woody" - the creation of this package only makes sense at some time near the end of a freeze and it might need a special exception to enter the frozen distribution (in practice this shouldn't be a big problem because this package can't cause non-obvious breakages)
