It must be noted that you should not manually remove files that are part

I really know better than to do that :)  But it was just a man page, so I figured it would do no serious harm if I tried it.

The dpkg --force-overwrite command did the trick; I then did 'dpkg -r pine', which removed pine but not the files in common with alpine, and all is well.
