Package: libdumbnet1
Version: 1.8-1.1
Severity: important

Upgrading from 1.7-3 fails with:

,----
| Unpacking replacement libdumbnet1 ...
| dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libdumbnet1_1.8-1.1_i386.deb
|   (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libdumbnet.so.0.0.0', which is
|     also in package libdumbnet0
`----

I _do_ have an ancient libdumbnet0 installed:

,----
| Package: libdumbnet0
| Status: install ok installed
| Priority: optional
| Section: libs
| Installed-Size: 88
| Maintainer: Simon Law <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
| Source: libdumbnet
| Version: 1.5-2
| Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.5-13)
| Description: A dumb, portable networking library.
|  libdumbnet provides a simplified, portable interface to several low-level
|  networking routines, including
|    * network address manipulation
|    * kernel arp(4) cache and route(4) table lookup and manipulation
|    * network firewalling (Ip filter, ipfw, ipchains, pdf, ...)
|    * network interface lookup and manipulation
|    * raw IP packet and Ethernet frame transmission
|  .
|  libdumbnet is known as libdnet in other distributions, but this is a
|  namespace conflict with the original libdnet.
`----

Either the so-name is wrong (package version 1.7-3 did not exhibit
this problem) or it should conflict with/replace libdumbnet0.


Cheers,
Cristian
