Can't we get upstream to Conflicts: virtualbox, virtualbox-
Hi Graham, is the Conflicts field enough? No break or replaces, right?
I'll ask to patch it in a few hours!
thanks

Yes, Conflicts is a stronger restriction than Breaks/Replaces.
In most circumstances Breaks is preferred, but Conflicts should be used "when two packages provide the same file and will continue to do so".
See: https:/
Hi Graham, upstream requires contribution to be licensed under MIT (or after signing their agreement)
is that ok for you?

I've just had a look in the control file from:
http://
Package: virtualbox-4.3
Version: 4.3.26-
Architecture: amd64
Maintainer: Oracle Corporation <email address hidden>
...
Conflicts: virtualbox, virtualbox-
Replaces: virtualbox
Provides: virtualbox
So it seems upstream already have the necessary Conflicts fields.
Also, they don't build that deb using the debian directory in trunk:

@LocutusOfBorg: do you mean sync?
