It's not entirely clear, are you saying that you only have these
problems with mozilla-tabextensions? If that's the case then this bug
report should be with mozilla-tabextensions. Putting a conflict on it
is just silly. The API provided to extension writers is not very
stable, so it tends to break on new version. Extension packages should
probably have pretty tight dependencies to avoid these sorts of
problems.
