I was sure that I had tried it and that one conflicted with the
other.  I had written the above sure that when I had tried it that a
conflicts or breaks or other dependency had caused one to push the
other out.  But obviously I was completely mistaken.  I must have had
some other combination that was conflicting when I tested it
previously.  I had tried it before and thought that was the result of
the test.

Sorry for injecting that incorrect noise.

[Side note: Actually installing both will create a runtime install
error due to both trying to start the daemon on port 80.  But that is
a different and I don't think too important issue.]
