[Bug 345813] [NEW] alpine does not obsolete pine, package install fails

[gcc]

Public bug reported:

After upgrade from gutsy to hardy:

chris at rocio(~)$ sudo apt-cache policy pine
pine:
  Installed: 4.64
  Candidate: 4.64
  Version table:
 *** 4.64 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

chris at rocio(~)$ apt-cache policy alpine
alpine:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.0+dfsg-3
  Version table:
     1.0+dfsg-3 0
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages

chris at rocio(~)$ sudo apt-get install alpine

Unpacking alpine (from .../alpine_1.0+dfsg-3_i386.deb) ...

 trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/rpload.1.gz', which is also in package pine

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/alpine_1.0+dfsg-3_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The alpine package should conflict with and replace pine if they can't
both be installed at the same time.
