Yes, there is no problem with the package installation. I just wanted to
remove the dummy packages.

Sorry, I hadn't seen the bug report.

I understand now the need for specific versions of shellutils, fileutils
and textutils. But, as coreutils is not available on stable, wouldn't
these dependencies:
  shellutils (>=1.1.14-1) | coreutils, fileutils (>=3.14-1) | coreutils,
  textutils (>=1.20-1) | coreutils
work on stable and unstable?


I take advantage of this mail to submit another patch for the debian
files:
  - Remove the Tru64 and MacOSX directory from /usr/lib/tiger (move to
    tiger-otheros
  - Remove the default value for Tiger_Mail_RCPT from the translated
    chains
