A best practice is to add any package you specify as a conflicts to the External Software list. This ensures

that even externally installed software is processed by Package Manager at installation time. See "About

External Software" on page 43 for more information.

Depending on the application, it is possible to install multiple versions of the software on a machine with

no ill effects, while other applications will not work properly if there is more than one version installed.

Using conflicts, you can specify that a package should not be installed if a previous version is installed. For

example, you currently have version 2 of a package installed, and you want to install version 3. You

specify in the version 3 package that it conflicts with version 2. During the installation of version 3 you are

informed that version 2 conflicts with version 3. You uninstall version 2, and then run the version 3

installation again. This time, not finding the conflicting package, it will install version 3. When version 4 is

released, you specify in the version 4 package that it conflicts with version 2 and version 3. Then, if either

version 2 or 3 is currently installed, you are notified of the conflict and can then uninstall the older package

before installing version 4.

Procedure

1. On the Properties tab, click the Conflicts sub-tab.

2. In the Package Name text box, type the name of the package. The package name type in the text box

must match the name of the package as it exists in the software repositories.

3. Click Add. The value is added to the dependency list.

4. Add other dependencies as needed.

Specify Provides for Packages

Specifying what a package Provides works in two ways.

Provides the Application

The package you are creating also installs another application; it provides the other application.
