Upgrade libelf0 to libelfg0

[Brandon Mitchell <bhmit1@mail.wm.edu>]

This one should be quick, how do I do this upgrade using dpkg (not
dselect)?  They conflict, so:

1) dpkg -r libelf0 -i libelfg0_0.6.4-8.deb
  Nope, once it receives the -r, all further packages are attempted to be
   removed (including the package -i and libelfg0...)
2) dpkg -r libelf0; dpkg -i libelfg0_0.6.4-8.deb
  I don't want a time frame inbetween these two packages.
3) dpkg -i -force-conflicts libelfg0_0.6.4-8.deb; dpkg -r libelf0
  This is what I want to do, but I'm hesitant to the use the force.
4) some other way?  E.g. tell dpkg to mark libelf0 for removal and then do
  an install?  If so, how?

If I muck around in /var/lib/dpkg/status, what do I change the status
field to: "remove ok installed"?

Thanks for any pointers,
Brandon
