[Bug 1216470] Re: ntfs-3g Raring package does not indicate that it provides ntfsprogs

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Actually ntfs-3g package dates back to Lucid or further. So I don't
think it makes sense to keep the compat provides anymore. I've fixed
remaining packages in the archive that still did that now.

Bug description:
  When installing third-party packages that depend on ntfsprogs and
  support multiple Ubuntu versions, the dependency check fails on Raring
  Ringtail since the ntfs-3g package does not indicate it replaces
  ntfsprogs (source: aptitude show ntfs-3g).  I suspect this was
  overlooked in Raring as ntfsprogs was dropped (not provided) in
  Raring.  Unfortunately, some third-party packages will still address
  ntfsprogs for sometime and it would be helpful if ntfs-3g would
  satisfy the dependency.

  I have filed a bug with the third-party provider as well.
