corosync has:

Conflicts: openais (<< 0.85)

should be openais-legacy

openais-legacy has:

Conflicts: openais

should be openais, corosync.

I'm marking this as Fix Released since it affected Karmic and we have no conflicts nowadays in new package releases (and legacy openais project has turned into corosync messaging layer).
