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+
