Binary package hint: svn-load
In the Gutsy Tribe 5 repository the Subversion related packages svn-load and subversion-helper-scripts conflict, because both try to install the file /usr/bin/svn-load. They are not marked as conflicting in the repository.
Installing subversion-helper-scripts first and then attempting to install svn-load gives :
kkallio@sylar:~$ sudo apt-get install svn-load
[sudo] password for kkallio:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following NEW packages will be installed:

Unpacking svn-load (from .../svn-load_0.6-1_all.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/svn-load_0.6-1_all.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/svn-load', which is also in package subversion-helper-scripts
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/svn-load_0.6-1_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I imagine that either these two packages should be marked as conflicting, or one of them should rename the svn-load file.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
