Bug#550434: dmsetup: conflicts with devicekit-disks prevents use of gnome with lvm2

[brian m. carlson]

Package: dmsetup
Version: 2:1.02.38-2
Severity: wishlist

dmsetup conflicts with devicekit-disks, which is an indirect dependency
of gnome-core.  Therefore, since lvm2 depends on dmsetup, lvm2 cannot be
installed at the same time as GNOME.  This is problematic, since I use
both, as do many other people.

Please make it possible to install both at the same time, or reassign
the bug to the package that needs to be fixed to make it possible to do
so.
