dpkg has problems with installing packages which have multiple
replaces together with conflicts. The problem comes up with the
installation of tetex which is supposed to replace all the old tex
packages.

All the packages that are to be removed are in the conflicts and in
the replaces section. But only the first item is considered to be
removed.
The only option is first to remove all the conflicting packages and
then install the new ones.

New bug report received and forwarded.
Your message didn't have a Package: line at the start (in the
pseudo-header following the real mail header), or didn't have a
psuedo-header at all.
This makes it much harder for us to categorise and deal with your
problem report; please ensure that you say which package(s) and
version(s) the problem is with next time. Some time in the future the
