Hi!

Just encountered a problem while trying to upgrade some packages. I am using a grml2hd by grml 1.0 which have been upgraded a few times and is now set to Debian/lenny in the sources.list:

% grep -v "^\s*#|^\s*$" /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://deb.grml.org/ grml-1.1 main deb-src http://deb.grml.org/ grml-1.1 main deb http://ftp.tu-graz.ac.at/mirror/debian lenny main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.tu-graz.ac.at/mirror/debian lenny main contrib non-free deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org lenny main

I usualy use grml-testing but also tried grml-1.0 / grml-1.0-updates and grml‐1.1.

So here the problem:

% apt-cache policy dpkg-dev

dpkg-dev: Installed: 1.14.12 Candidate: 1.14.22 Version table: 1.14.22 0 500 http://ftp.tu-graz.ac.at lenny/main Packages *** 1.14.12 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

% apt-cache policy devscripts

devscripts: Installed: 2.9.27.grml.1 Candidate: 2.9.27.grml.1 Version table: 2.10.35 0 500 http://ftp.tu-graz.ac.at lenny/main Packages *** 2.9.27.grml.1 0 994 http://deb.grml.org grml-1.1/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

% aptitude show -v dpkg-dev |& grep --color=auto "Package:|Version:|Conflicts:|^$"

Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.14.22 Conflicts: devscripts (< 2.10.26), dpkg-cross (< 2.0.0)

Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.14.12 Conflicts: dpkg-cross (< 2.0.0), dpkgname

So the new version of dpkg-dev conflicts with older devscripts but grml does not provide any newer one.

I *definitly* could change the pining of devscripts but wonder if there will be a newer version of devscripts-grml, what the best way to handle this problem or if I am doing something wrong escpescially because I newer knowingly used devscripts-grml and also was not able to find the sources in the git-repository to check for updates.

Do you need to know more infos? Please let me know!

P.s. I have not tried grml-1.1-rc yet to see how it's handled in there...
