This breaks fink selfupdate. Urgent fixing is needed.

Changing the name in the package description doesn't make the previously installed packages disappear or mysteriously change their name.

Why was the Conflicts and Replaces on ncurses-dev removed? This is wrong. When ncurses-dev is previously installed, the breakage is as follows:
The old (current as of yesterday) ncurses-dev conflicts with libncurses5, and since no one Replaces it now, it stays there and prevents the installation of the new libncurses5:
Selecting previously deselected package libncurses5. dpkg: regarding .../libncurses5_5.4-20041023-1_darwin-powerpc.deb containing libncurses5: ncurses-dev conflicts with libncurses5 libncurses5 (version 5.4-20041023-1) is to be installed. dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/libncurses5_5.4-20041023-1_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing libncurses5 [...] Failed: compiling dpkg-1.10.21-203 failed
If I first remove ncurses-dev and rerun selfupdate, I get the following complete mess (dpkg compiles in this case, because its dependencies are there, but something still wants to reinstall ncurses-dev):

On the fink-users list there is a similar message.
