[Bug 2009814] [NEW] Inetutils is failing almost all autopkgtests

[Dominik Viererbe]

Public bug reported:

During the MIR Process for inetutils-telnet
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inetutils/+bug/2008789) I
noticed that inetutils fails almost all autopkgtests. See:
https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/i/inetutils

The reason for the failures seems to be that inetutils-ping is in conflict with iputils-ping.
The autopkgtests pass for i386, because iputils-ping does not build for i386
(See: https://packages.ubuntu.com/lunar/iputils-ping)

This demonstrates a problem for the MIR of inetutils-telnet. Assuming
that inetutils-telnet will get into main; inetutils-telnet tests will
fail every time a inetutils-* package fails, although they are in
universe and the failure is unrelated.
