Bug Description

During an upgrade from hardy to intrepid, I got the following:

Unpacking python-smartpm (from .../python-smartpm_1.1.1~bzr20081010-0ubuntu0.8.10_i386.deb) ...
dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled:

I probably had the Landscape smartpm-core installed, so I suspect the
Replaces version just needs updated to cover that version too.

Here's a quick fix. I tested it on my intrepid machine:

upgrade from smartpm-core_1.1.1~bzr20081010-0ubuntu0.8.04_amd64.deb (landscape repository version) to 1.1.1~bzr20081010-0ubuntu0.8.10 (current Intrepid version) failed with file conflict error. Upgrading to package generated by this patch worked.

We'll avoid this problem in the future by releasing split packages in the landscape repository for future <= hardy versions of smart.
