Bug#4457: popclient conflicts with netstd



Package: popclient, netstd
Version: 3.05-1, 2.07-1

The netstd package provides popclient 2.21, and the popclient package 
provides popclient 3.05.  These two versions aren't completely 
compatable.

Neither package conflicts with the other, yet both provide 
/usr/bin/popclient, /usr/man/man.1/popclient.1, and 
/usr/doc/copyright/popclient.

Dselect is still configured to automatically override conflicts like 
this, so when I installed the popclient package, I had to modify my 
scripts, and when I installed a new version of the netstd package, I 
had to remodify my scripts.

Suggestions:

1) Remove popclient from netstd, or
2) Update the popclient in netstd and eliminate the separate package.
