From: "Carl R. Witty" <cwitty@newtonlabs.com>
Subject: apt: apt always overwrites
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.1.7
Package: apt
Version: 0.3.4
Apt should have a configuration option to allow calling dpkg with the
--no-force-overwrite option. (Or, if it has such a configuration
option, it should be better documented.)
