[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Missing library in the 2006 beta version?

[From: Antonio Gomes]

So, I have packed these X dependencies mentioned above (libXt, libICE and
libSM) into my .deb file , and they install fine if *and only if* they have
not been installed before by another application or whatever. In the case
when they are already installed my .deb installation hangs when it tries to
replace them with the following message:


$ dpkg -i mydeb.deb
(Reading database ... 11120 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking minimo (from mydeb.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing mydeb.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libSM.so.6.0.1', which is also in package
libsm6
Errors were encountered while processing:
mydeb.deb

I'd like to be able to verify if they are already available in the system
before trying to install them , how could I do ? preinst ?

regards
