Thanks for catching this. The Breaks and Replaces need to be extended. I'll test a patch right away.

[Emmet Hikory (persia)]

Unfortunately, I'm having trouble reproducing the error: while I believe that the issue is that libwildmidi-config should both Breaks and Replaces libwildmidi0 as well as libwildmidi1, I haven't been able to reproduce it, and the PPA versioning makes me wonder if there is something different about the original installed package.

If anyone is able to reproduce this in a lucid->precise upgrade using standard packages, please share the procedure used for reproduction. Alternately, if it is possible to identify the PPA from which the problematic package was produced, I may be able to work with the PPA owner to resolve the issue.

I'm guessing the package came from this repository here http://ppa.launchpad.net/lucid-bleed/ppa/ubuntu

Since this is not a mainline package feel free to change the bug status as you think best.
