Two comments:
1. It ain't just create_module; manpage-dev is also overwriting init_module
Unpacking replacement manpages-dev ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/manpages-dev_2.25-2_all.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man2/init_module.2.gz', which is also in
package modutils
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
2. I agree with David Weinehall that manpages-dev should use
"Replaces: modutils". To Justin Pryzby's question
Why? Upgrades from sarge to etch will be fine as long as one of
modutils and manpages drops the file before the release. The
problem is limited to sid, and developers can presumably be
expected to work around it as necessary..
I answer: why not! Yes, developers can work around it; but why should
we be constantly irritated? If things are worked out before "etch",
then the "Replaces" can be dropped.
