Sylvain, the problem (as a few people have pointed out) is that you cannot
include the Conflicts lines in readline and readline-shlibs.  You need
the Replaces lines, but not the conflicts lines.

(The reason is: if the current readline "conflicts" with an earlier version
of readline, upgrading won't be possible without de-installing everything.
There are similar problems if readline-shlibs "conflicts", since it also
is required for the new version of readline.)

Since fink is willing to replace the old version of readline by a new
version of readline, you don't actually need the "Replaces" line
in readline, only in readline-shlibs.

I apologize, because this might be my fault: the first version of the email
I sent about shlibs suggested doing this.  But I later corrected things
(after running into this same problem myself, with another package).

To test this, I made modified copies on my system of the brand-new readline
and readline-shlibs, with the Conflicts lines.  Before I did this, they
wouldn't install; after I did this, they installed fine.

This problem was *not* caused by the 4.2/4.0 business.  (That caused
other problems!)
