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. |
