Bug#402804: openssh-client: Needs to conflict with old ssh-krb5; conffile ownership transfer failure

[Adam C Powell IV <hazelsct@debian.org>]

Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:4.3p2-7
Severity: important

Greetings,

First, this needs to conflict with old versions of ssh-krb5, otherwise
if this tries to install before that updates, the upgrade stalls.

Second, even with ssh-krb5 updated to the new dummy version, the
conffile ownership transfer doesn't work.  Then because this fails,
openssh-client and -server never install, and ssh-krb5 can't configure.
See attached log for details (but ignore the samba stuff).

Note: this applies to both -client and -server.

Thanks,
-Adam
