Lintian tag: conflicts-with-version
Type: information
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
An earlier-than version clause is normally an indication that Breaks
should be used instead of Conflicts. Breaks is a weaker requirement that
provides the package manager more leeway to find a valid upgrade path.
Conflicts should only be used if two packages can never be unpacked at the
same time, or for some situations involving virtual packages (where a
version clause is not appropriate). In particular, when moving files
between packages, use Breaks plus Replaces, not Conflicts plus Replaces.
Please refer to Conflicting binary packages - Conflicts (Section 7.4) in
the Debian Policy Manual for details.
