Dear Maintainer,

/usr/sbin/mkntfs is present in both ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs-plus, leading to this
error when installing ntfsprogs-plus when ntfs-3g is installed:

# apt install ntfsprogs-plus
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  libntfs-3g89t64
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove it.
