Hi,
Installing ncurses-term 5.2.20020112a-7 on a system where ncurses-base
5.3.20030719-4 ist installed conflicts, because c/cons25 is in both packages.
(Reading database ... 16795 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking ncurses-term (from .../ncurses-term_5.2.20020112a-7_all.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/ncurses-term_5.2.20020112a-7_all.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/terminfo/c/cons25', which is also in package
ncurses-base
I agree that this is probably a rare occurency, but I have apt-pinned my system
to stable, but something has apparently forced me to a more recent ncurses-base
in the past - this is how it happened (And since dtterm is not in -base, I
needed to install -term).
cheers

Actually I'm just going to close this.
Your problem occurs because you had ncurses-base version A installed,
and then installed ncurses-term version B, where B is older than A. In
general I can't future-proof a package to install when packages newer
than it are already installed; not without time travel.
