Remove control field Conflicts if the package is no longer..

External Since: Jul 10, 2009 Posts: 3

Hello Debian Developers,

I've recently uploaded (thanks to Bart Martens for sponsoring) my first
package and want to adopt the next one. It's cd-discid [1]. Its
debian/control file contains the Conflicts field. This package conflicts
with cdgrab (<< 0.7), which is no longer exists in the repository. So, I
have a question, may I remove Conflicts field safely?

1. http://packages.debian.org/sid/cd-discid

Thanks.

I think that as long as the package (cdgrab, in this case) is
not longer in stable, the conflicts line may be removed (we support
partial upgrades from stable, as far as is possible). In this case,
apparently cdgrab is not anywhere, so the conflicts line may go.
