An notice and pointer to instructions in the package descriptions (showed by
dselect) might help some users....
An custom remove of the old pakages in the preinstal script is probably allot
of work. An general remove script for old packages that checked if any other
installed pakages owned the files suposed to be removed (and then removing
only the files *exclusivly* owned by the package being removed) might fix
this kind of problem. Safer but it might be terreble slow and not sutable
for general use...
Just thinking.... /Lars
