Thank you for the explanation. This case is surely "A Replaces B"
as dmacks said. I didn't know it is possible to overwrite files
that were priviously-installed.
I've just committed the corrected finkinfo.


To tell the truth, for an ease to maintain, I'd like to move
kpathsea binaries (kpseaccess, kpsepath, ...) from texlive-base
to the package "kpathsea", as splitoff in libkpathsea6.info.
But if I do so, new "kpathsea" and previous texlive-base have
the same binaries, and I thought it is impossible to install
them simultaneously. Now I know it is possible with Replaces...
