Hullo there,
Does anyone use trac on debian?
I've just upgraded a server from etch to lenny. It had a backport version of trac 0.11.1-2~bpo40+1.
The lenny version is 0.11.1-2
However, the backports package refuses to uninstall to make way for the new version. Installation errors show:
Preparing to replace trac 0.11.1-2~bpo40+1 (using .../trac_0.11.1-2.1_all.deb) ...

I tried moving /usr/share/pycentral/trac to one side but the same error occurs.
Google is not my friend :-(
Can anyone advise? I'm not much good with pythony things.
apt-get remove trac apt-get install trac
Done, because the lenny version is "newer" than the bpo version:
brettp@miranda:~$ if ( dpkg --compare-versions 0.11.1-2~bpo40+1 lt 0.11.1-2 ); then echo yes; fi yes brettp@miranda:~$ if ( dpkg --compare-versions 0.11.1-2 gt 0.11.1-2~bpo40+1 ); then echo yes; fi yes brettp@miranda:~$
So, a simple removal and then install should be all it takes.
The problem is that it *won't* remove, - it gives the same errors:
