[Bug 243469] Re: Can't install j2re1.4 packages built by make-jpkg in Hardy due to conflict with xulrunner-1.9

[David Symons]

I built a xulrunner-1.9 with "Conflicts: j2re1.4 (<< 1:0)" and got the
following results when trying to install various j2re1.4 packages:

Firstly the package downloaded from the Ubuntu archive:
$ sudo dpkg -i j2re1.4_1.4.2.02-1ubuntu3_i386.deb 
Selecting previously deselected package j2re1.4.
dpkg: regarding j2re1.4_1.4.2.02-1ubuntu3_i386.deb containing j2re1.4:
 xulrunner-1.9 conflicts with j2re1.4 (<< 1:0)
  j2re1.4 (version 1.4.2.02-1ubuntu3) is to be installed. xu
dpkg: error processing j2re1.4_1.4.2.02-1ubuntu3_i386.deb (--install):
 conflicting packages - not installing j2re1.4
Errors were encountered while processing:
 j2re1.4_1.4.2.02-1ubuntu3_i386.deb

Then the package built using make-jpkg from the patched java-package:
$ sudo dpkg -i sun-j2re1.4_1.4.2+17_i386.deb 
(Reading database ... 291495 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace sun-j2re1.4 1:1.4.2+17 (using sun-j2re1.4_1.4.2+17_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement sun-j2re1.4 ...
Setting up sun-j2re1.4 (1:1.4.2+17) ...

Which is the desired result.  Archive packages still conflict, built
packages can be installed.
