usrmerge cannot convert a system which has two different binaries (not
symlinks) with the same name in {/usr,}/s?bin/, because it cannot know
which one should be kept.
This condition does not happen on regular systems: only if somebody
manually copied something to {/usr,}/s?bin/, which is not supposed to
happen.-- ciao, Marco
