Yes, this is safe. If you want to keep a copy of tsort from fileutils
around, just cp it to some other name.

Use 'dpkg --force-overwrite', and if you get dependency issues,
with bsdmainutils it is safe to --force-depends

I am sorry for the persistent problems with bsd*utils and lack
of util-linux, but there are far more pressing problems until
I can attack those.

Thanks,
