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...
