Yes, this is safe. If you want to keep a copy of tsort from fileutils around, just cp it to some other name. Use 'dpkg --force-overwrite', and if you get dependency issues, with bsdmainutils it is safe to --force-depends I am sorry for the persistent problems with bsd*utils and lack of util-linux, but there are far more pressing problems until I can attack those. Thanks, Marcus
