Broken situations. Sure, you can --force dpkg to overwrite files
from another package. But Debian prefers to fix the problem instead.

The reason why dpkg does this is because of a neat little hard link exploit.

Most Perl 4 programs still work fine with any version of Perl 5. But
there were a couple of language changes between Perl 4 and Perl 5 that

The apparent solution to something like bug#45344 is to have all
the packages providing an identd to conflict with one another.
While reasonable in most cases, this has the horrible side effect
of not letting the administrator have multiple identds on the
system. What if I have a machine with t
