Package: libvte4
Version: 1:0.12.2-5

System: Xen image - i386 - Kernel 2.6.18-6-xen-686

Hi,

During the upgrade form etch to lenny (aptitude full-upgrade), the following 
situation occurs:
- libvte-common is not upgraded for not breaking the dependency needed by  libvte4
- libvte4 remains installed
- libvte9 is installed

After doing a second 'aptitude full-upgrade', the following situation occurs:
- libvte4 is deinstalled
- libvte-common is then upgraded.

I don't know if libvte9 is a full replacement for libvte4. In this case, maybe 
adding the info 'Replaces: libvte4 (<=1:0.12.2-5)' in the package libvte9 will 
in the first 'aptitude full-upgrade' run :
- remove libvte4
- install libvte9
- upgrade libvte-common

Giovanni.
