Package: etckeeper
Version: 0.4
Severity: important

The current un-installability of git-core:
Unpacking git-core (from .../git-core_1%3a1.5.3.6-1_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/git-core_1%3a1.5.3.6-1_amd64.deb 
(--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/share/perl5/Error.pm', which is also in package 
liberror-perl
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/git-core_1%3a1.5.3.6-1_amd64.deb

results in apt being stuck in the pre-action handle of etckeeper without any 
error indication.
etckeeper should test whether git works properly and leave it to the user 
whether to live without
git's functionality or abort apt/aptitude all together in case of failure.
