Re: Overwriting files from other packages will require Replaces
Carl Streeter:
Basically, things only conflict if they provide the same
interfaces-- smail and sendmail both send mail through
/usr/sbin/sendmail, and they both listen on port 25...
It would be nice if smail and sendmail used update-alternatives for
/usr/sbin/sendmail. It would be even nicer if there were something
analogous to update-alternatives for tcp port registration --
presumably, this could be hacked into update-inetd.
