Bug Description

Binary package hint: mysql-client-5.0

Trying to upgrade MySQL 4.1 to 5.0 (just after a dapper -> hardy LTS upgrade):

Preconfiguring packages ...
(Reading database ... 140431 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking mysql-client-5.0 (from .../mysql-client-5.0_5.0.51a-3ubuntu5_amd64.deb) ...

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

SRU justification: breaks installation of new packages when particular packages from universe are installed from the previous LTS release

Does not apply to intrepid, for which direct upgrades from dapper are not supported.

TEST CASE:
1) Install mysql-server-4.1 and mysql-client-4.1 from dapper.
2) upgrade to hardy.
3) install the mysql-client and mysql-server packages.
4) observe that the upgrade fails with file conflicts.
5) enable hardy-proposed.
6) try again to install the mysql-client and mysql-server packages.
7) observe that the upgrade completes successfully, with removal of the old mysql-{client,server}-4.1 packages.

Regression potential: minimal, since the only change is to declare conflicts/replaces with packages that already have these file conflicts in practice. However, the impact of this bug is also lower than I originally thought, because it can't be triggered on a dapper->hardy upgrade itself since the mysql-client and mysql-server metapackages are /already/ pointing at 5.0 in dapper, and already have the undeclared file conflicts. Therefore this SRU does not need to be accepted prior to the 8.04.1 point release.
