Package: ksh Version: 93u+20120801-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: m...@linux.it Usertags: usrmerge
The current usrmerge package must conflict with ksh because it would otherwise fail in postinst while trying to create again /usr/bin/ksh. See #768079 for details. Patch attached. -- ciao, Marco
