apt-get conflict: php4-pear and php4-pear-log
Hi,
I'm trying to install imp3 from the testing distribution using apt-get, but
the install breaks because there's a conflict between the php4-pear and
php4-pear-log packages.
If I isolate the php4-pear packages, I can install php4-pear correctly.

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's the best way forward?
It seems safe to let php4-pear-log overwrite the file in both packages
but I can't see how to do that with apt-get.
Is php4-pear-log really required for imp3/horde2? Is there a way to
install imp3 without php4-pear-log?
Thanks,
David
