I forgot to also say that it does work to install the old
libraries. Those conflicts aren't "real" conflicts so it's safe to
run that script (as far as I know). This should allow os2007
applications to at least load and probably run successfully if it
doesn't depend on too much other os2007 stuff.
On a side note, I don't find it particularly nice for packages to
use fake conflicts to force the removal of non-conflicting
packages. There should be another way of asking the user whether
they want to keep older packages.
