Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: python-pysnmp-common
This is about the versions currently available for Lucid (10.04)
There should be a conflicts relationship between python-pysnmp-common
and python-pysnmp2 since both attempt to provide the same file. This
results in a dpkg failure if trying to apt-get install either package
after the other.

Yikes, now I have a broken package.
What I expected:
Apt should have nicely warned me about this conflict.
