Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 3.0-0

 Package: bsdmainutils
 Maintainer: Austin Donnelly <and1000@debian.org>
 Architecture: i386
 Version: 3.0-0
 Depends: libc5, libdb1 (>= 1.85.2-6), ncurses3.0 (>= 1.9.8a-4), bsdutils (>= 3.0
 Conflicts: bsdutils (<< 3.0-0)

This conflict is likely to cause problems for dpkg/dselect when they
install things.  Use Replaces or some other mechanism instead.
Contact me if you want to discuss what to do.

Ian.
