Bug#201197: plus sign doesn't override conflicts
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
>From apt-get(8):
"Similarly a plus sign can be used to designate a package to install. These
latter features may be used to override decisions made by apt-get's
conflict resolution system."
Appending a plus sign doesn't seem to override the conflict resolution, e.g.
# apt-get -u install sendmail+
