Sysvinit error on apt-get update

Hi and thanks for all your hard work.
I have just tried updating my debian hurd install and dpkg fails with the
following error:

dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/sysvinit_2.88dsf-16_hurd-i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/sbin/halt', which is also in package hurd 20111206-1
configured to not write apport reports
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/sysvinit_2.88dsf-16_hurd-i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

(I'm sorry if this text contains typos, i have only got one screen and
wrote the text while watching it on my hurd computer.)

Does anyone have any idea on how to get past this?

Thanks!

/Peter
