Description Nick Leverton 2011-10-03 07:29:03 CDT

ktalkd-trinity recommends ytalk, and ytalk depends on some package providing talkd which is a standard (non-trinity) package.  Formerly this was provided by ktalkd, but ktalkd-trinity instead provides talkd-trinity.

I think that ktalkd-trinity should be Provides: talkd, not Provides: talkd-trinity.

Replaces: talkd
Provides: talkd
Conflicts: talkd


It's just a packaging change of course.  But IIRC (admittedly it's years since I've used talk much) only one package at a time can act as talkd to other talk clients, and this is the Debian way of specifying that.
