Bug#2545: dpkg locks up with conflict
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.1.0
dpkg won't deal with upgrading svgalib. I think I'm going to have to
resort to --force-conflicts, (or remove an installed package).
Here's a few tries:
bash$ sudo dpkg -i graphics/svgalib1-1.28-6.deb
dpkg: considering removing svgalib in favour of svgalib1 ...
dpkg: no, cannot remove svgalib:
gs depends on svgalib
svgalib is to be removed.
aout-svgalib provides svgalib but is unpacked but not configured.
dpkg: regarding graphics/svgalib1-1.28-6.deb containing svgalib1:
svgalib1 conflicts with svgalib (<=1.28-2)
svgalib (version 1.28-2) is installed.
dpkg: error processing graphics/svgalib1-1.28-6.deb (--install):

Package aout-svgalib is not configured yet.
