So, some more questions I have:
* Would this conflicts case be restricted to just these python26-mod*
packages? Or is this more general? I can see the case for packages
that use a parallel installable stack and can't load at the same
time, but I worry that we should make sure this isn't used more
broadly.
The technical criteria leading to this are:
* Plugins to an app (in this case, mod_{python,wsg} to apache)
* Plugins link to a library that is versioned at the library level but not
versioned/namespaced at the symbol level. (In this case, libpython24.so
and libpython26.so which provide an overlapping set of function names).
Whether to create a general criteria from this or limit it to the specific
case of apache with
mod_python/python26-mod_python/mod_wsgi/python26-mod_wsgi I leave to you :-)
