Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.22
If
A -Conflicts/Replaces-> B <-Depends- C <-Depends- D
and you start with B,C,D installed, then installing A automatically
removes B (which is correct) and deconfigures C (which is correct) but
fails to deconfigure D (which is not correct).
See transcript below. (Ignore the Not-Breaks field; it's not relevant
and is to do with another test I'm doing with this set of test
packages.)
