[Bug 483858] [NEW] linux-virtual conflicts with linux-server, install fails

[Gary]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-virtual

Clean install of ubuntu-server-9.10-amd64 with SSH in VMWare Server 2.0.

apt-get install linux-virtual fails to install leaving apt-get broken.
apt-get purge  linux-virtual and apt-get -f install both fail. Complains
of conflicting file between linux-virtual and linux-server packages.
