I just tried this out whit the following dependencies of file-rc:
Conflicts: ash (<< 0.3.5-1)
Depends: sysvinit (>= 2.85-3)
Replaces: sysv-rc
(which means that I replaced the "Conflicts: sysvinit (<< 2.85-3)" by
"Depends: sysvinit (>= 2.85-3)).
But this still causes problems with apt:
# apt-get -t unstable install sysvinit file-rc=0.8.2
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
file-rc initscripts
The following NEW packages will be installed:

E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on sysvinit
I don't understand why the problem changed, but now we seems to be a
bug in apt, doesn't it?
I noticed the above behavior with apt 0.5.4 (sarge) as well as with
0.5.9 (sid).
Tschoeeee
