[oe] Replacing a config file from other package

[Mats Kärrman]

Hi!

My image contains the ppp package.
Now I want to install my own package with configuration files related to ppp.

A problem occurs when i try to install the "config-ppp" package because I want to replace some files already provided by the ppp package, e.g. "pap-secrets"; the image build and/or installation fails and refuses to overwrite an existing file.

Is there an elegant way to accomplish this without modifying the ppp package, e.g. to tell OE that it's really OK to overwrite this or that file?

Thanks & BR,
Mats
