Package: mysql-client-5.0
Version: 5.0.41-2
Severity: normal

I've had mysql-server-4.1 since it became a transition package;
today I finally decided to upgrade. This causes the installation of
mysql-client-5.0, and the removal of m-c-4.1. However, via aptitude, we
have this:

(Reading database ... 146552 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking mysql-client-5.0 (from .../mysql-client-5.0_5.0.41-2_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing 
/var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-client-5.0_5.0.41-2_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/myisam_ftdump', which is also in package 
mysql-client-4.1
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-client-5.0_5.0.41-2_i386.deb
[etc.]

The problem is that the m-c-5.0 package has

     Replaces: mysql-client (<< 5.0.41-2), mysql-server

and needs, additionally, "mysql-client-4.1 (<< whatever)".

I worked around it by manually removing m-c-4.1 with dpkg --force-depends,
but it needs to be fixed.

This looks quite irrelevanr with 5.5 out. Also not sure how it was ever
seen as an upstream issue.
