AFAICU this is the reason why dpkg fails when you try to replace -py24
variant with the -py23 one.

I've downloaded an update of the pyx-py from the trackers (#1306090).
The package installs a conf file in /sw/etc / that is listed in the
ConfFiles: field of the info file. However, when trying to two variant
(-py23 and -py24), dpkg complains about overwriting the file:
/sw/bin/dpkg: error processing
/sw/fink/dists/local/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/tracker/pyx-py23_0.8.1-1_darwin-powerpc.deb
(--install):
trying to overwrite `/sw/etc/pyxrc', which is also in package pyx-py24
/sw/bin/dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Isn't dpkg supposed to replace silently the conf file by the new one
(or prompt the user if it has changed) ?
Isn't this happening when you try to install both packages at the same
time? Then it would have nothing to do with the ConfFiles mechanism. It
would only be a question of both packages conflicting with each other.
Or does it happen also when you first remove pyx-py23 and then install
pyx-py24?
