It seems the correct version number would be 5.240-1ubuntu0.1. Updated
patch is attached.

TEST CASE:
1. Add karmic to /etc/apt/sources.list.
2. Make sure libanyevent-perl is not installed.
3. Install anyevent-perl (from karmic, not available in lucid).
4. Install libanyevent-perl.

With 5.240-1 installation will fail (trying to overwrite files from
anyevent-perl). With the patch applied, dpkg should remove
anyevent-perl in favor of libanyevent-perl.

Ansgar
