This conflict break upgrades, and installation with dpkg -i when I
install more packages (insserv, sysv-rc, sysvinit, sysvinit-utils and
initscrits). I'm not quite sure if this conflict is required or
not. :/ Removing it made upgrades and dpkg -i installation work
properly.
One idea presented by Daniel Silverstone when I discussed this problem
with him, was to move the insserv binary into the sysv-rc package. It
would basicly get rid of the problem. The new problem would be that
it would make it impossible for file-rc to use insserv for its boot
sequencing. On the other hand, I guess we could try to solve that
problem if the file-rc developer express interest in doing it this
way, instead of now.
Happy hacking,
