[Piuparts-devel] potential-cross-conflicts.py does not detect some already known problems?

Hi,

sorry for the late replay but I am just returning after two weeks of
vacation.

I just looked at the last in that list (libghc6-split-doc_1:6.log): In that
case, the two offending packages are indeed found co-installable by
dose-debcheck, so this seems to be a bug in potential-file-conflicts.
I'll have a look at this as soon as possible.

Cheers -Ralf.
