Bug Description

While trying to upgrade my hardy machine to lucid today I got the following failure:

Selecting previously deselected package mysql-server-core-5.1.
Unpacking mysql-server-core-5.1 (from .../mysql-server-core-5.1_5.1.41-3ubuntu7_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-server-core-5.1_5.1.41-3ubuntu7_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/sbin/mysqld', which is also in package mysql-server-5.0 0:5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.5

mysql-server-core-5.1 has:
Replaces: mysql-server-5.1 (<< ${source:Version}), mysql-server-core-5.0

But back in hardy's time /usr/sbin/mysqld was provided by mysql-server-5.0.
