Package: dpkg
Severity: important
Hi,
as I've already written to t...@dpkg.org I figured that dpkgs behaviour
when conffiles are conflicting is somewhat broken. To cite the original
mail:

[ Raphael Hertzog ]
* Fix parsing of objdump output (by dpkg-shlibdeps) in a special case where
the symbol name is separated only with a single space. Closes: #506139
* Fix dpkg-shlibdeps behaviour when Build-Depends-Package is used in the
symbols file. It was merging all dependency templates into the generated
dependency instead of simply modifying the minimal version. Thanks to
Modestas Vainius <modes...@vainius.eu>. Closes: #507346
* Fix dpkg-source to correctly extract a source package even when called
from a non-writable directory when a target directory has been specified
on the command line. Closes: #507217, #507219
.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Do not allow installing packages with non-obsolete conffiles owned by
other packages without a proper Replaces field. Closes: #508392
.
[ Updated dselect translations ]
* Galician (Marce Villarino). Closes: #509887
.
[ Updated dpkg translations ]
* Galician (Marce Villarino). Closes: #509150
* Vietnamese (Clytie Siddall). Closes: #509424
