downgrading jed0.99.18 to /testing fails

[G. Milde]

Dear Jed pkg group,

Still testing the Jed packages, I came across a problem:

I had (in my chroot debian base system) jed, jed-common and jed-extra in the
/experimental version (0.99.18).

Downgrading just jed to /testing with apt-get went fine:

  # apt-get install jed/testing
  ...
  dpkg - warning: downgrading jed from 0.99.18-2 to 0.99.16-6.
  ...
  Unpacking replacement jed ...
  Setting up jed (0.99.16-6) ...

but jed is now broken:

  # jed

starts jed but stops with the error message
  
  S-Lang Error: Byte compiled file appears corrupt



Do we need a conflict of jed 0.99.18 with earlier versions, something like

  Conflicts: jed (<=0.99.17)
  Replaces:  jed (<=0-99.17)
  
?  

Would this help? (As the point is that we need to downgrade jed-common
together with jed in order to let it work properly.)
So, maybe

  Conflicts: jed-common (<=0.99.17)
  Replaces:  jed-common (<=0-99.17)
?

Or just leave it?
