[Tinyos-help] Cannot install both tinyos-avr and tinyos-msp430 from Ubuntu repository

[leith]

ah, i should have thought about this.

basically, tinyos-msp430 and tinyos-avr install the same files AND point 
to different dependencies.

instead, i should have a tinyos files be in a package by itself. then, 
have tinyos-msp430 and tinyos-avr just be pointers to it's dependencies.

i'll updated the packages soon...
