Re: [Fink-devel] Shared Headers support?

It has to be ignored, because you can have multiple Provides: of the 
same 'package' installed at once. For example, you could have two 
Provides: mta packages installed at once.. dpkg wouldn't know which one 
to 'replace'... one? both?

Turns out that in such a case, the exclusive presence of each package

one does not result in removal of what's already there (Replaces is
apparently ignored (?!)). This appears to be true even using the
latest dpkg (1.10.18, patched in analogy to fink's 1.10.9).
