Hi,
because life isn't hard enough as it is: When /bin is a symlink to
usr/bin, and I install two packages, where one installs /bin/foo and the
other installs /usr/bin/foo, then, if both are installed in the same
dpkg invocation, the contents of the first package end up being
installed, while in two separate invocations, the second package's
contents win.
So for any undetected file conflict, which file now exists now depends
on whether apt decided to install both packages during the same
installation round or not.
Writing more test cases,
Simon
