I have a recollection of this conflict actually making sense to me at one point, but I have no record of it in my mail history and can't find anything in bug logs to explain why. There's a good chance that whatever the issue was, something has been fixed in the meantime to be less pathological, making the conflict irrelevant. So I agree with removing it and looking for breakage. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
