Please find attached a debdiff which fixes this. This debdiff also contains a patch for bug 290874 in addition to the patch for this bug (I will provide a SRU justification separately for the other patch in the other bug report. If it is not SRU worthy, then I can just remove it from the debdiff).

======================

The impact on users of this current bug is that they cannot install opencryptoki. This prevents users from installing any of its rdepends and may break Hardy -> Intrepid upgrades.

I have addressed the bug by taking the patch from the upstream Debian fix. This patch just removes the conflicting files from the libopencryptoki0 deb package (the conflicting files are already in the opencryptoki deb package)

***TEST CASE***
1) Try to install opencryptoki 2.2.6+dfsg-1 (sudo apt-get install opencryptoki). This will try to pull in libopencryptoki0, as it is a depends.
2) Observe that package installation fails because of the conflicting files.
3) Try to install opencryptoki 2.2.6+dfsg-1ubuntu1.
4) Note that this version installs successfully.

I don't think that there is any regression potential for the patch which fixes this bug, as the package is not usable in its current form anyway.
