Why should they? netkit-base is a package that happens to provide |
| 9 |
ping among other utilities; because all of them except the old-style |
| 10 |
inetd are deprecated (old-style inetd is deprecated but some people |
| 11 |
still prefer it, for whatever reason). It no longer provides ping, just |
| 12 |
old-style inetd. |

Block each other in what way? How do you know before getting to the |
| 15 |
merge stage that files might be conflicting? |

The only real solution that I can see is preventing it from happening in |
| 18 |
the first place. |

Here's something in the same vein: |

I guess we need to determine which package provides the best version of |
| 24 |
kill. In that case, it's not that much of a big deal because most people |
| 25 |
are going to be using their shell's internal kill command anyway, |
| 26 |
though. |
