Hi people,

Sorry about the mess, all my fault and the conflict was the easy way out.

Recent versions have a uffi.asd file:

$ sudo dpkg -i --force-all cl-cffi_20070901-1_all.deb
dpkg: regarding cl-cffi_20070901-1_all.deb containing cl-cffi:
 cl-cffi conflicts with cl-uffi
  cl-uffi (version 1.6.0-1) is installed.
dpkg: warning - ignoring conflict, may proceed anyway !
(Reading database ... 57118 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking cl-cffi (from cl-cffi_20070901-1_all.deb) ...
dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled:
 trying to overwrite /usr/share/common-lisp/systems/uffi.asd', which is
also in package cl-uffi
Setting up cl-cffi (20070901-1) ...

This is because dh-lisp finds and links the uffi.asd file:

repository/cffi$ l uffi-compat/
uffi-compat.lisp  uffi.asd

Maybe we should start using Provides: ?

Groetjes, Peter
