For the record: the pine package in Debian/non-free (which I maintain)
does not have such file. The conflict, if any, is probably between
Debian alpine and the pine.deb distributed by UW. I don't think this
deserves a grave severity (it would if both packages were distributed
by Debian). In fact, I would not consider that as a bug at all.
In either case, the alpine maintainer has the final word.

Thanks.
