Here is an example with kernel-2.4.26-1.ll.rhfc1.ccrma.  All of the
conflicts are directories.  I don't have this problem with the other Apt
repositories in my Up2Date configuration.  And it only happens with some
of the PlanetCCRMA packages, not with all of them.

Test install failed because of package conflicts:
file /lib/modules from install of kernel-2.4.26-1.ll.rhfc1.ccrma
