Hello Dave,

Sorry, but I didn't receive your email and the bug got archived, I was
looking at it now just by chance.  Please, keep me in To/CC.

Could you please provide more information on it?  Is it still
happening, and if so in which package and versions?

Yes, I believe that the conflict is still present and multiple packages provide /usr/lib/libiberty.a. Don't think gcc-4.6-hppa64 and gcc-4.7-hppa64 should
install this file.


I am a bit confused about what is really affected.  In principle, bugs
reported shoudl be about packages being currently in Debian archives
(not packages outside the current distribution), and it seems that at
the moment:

The source packages come from the unstable archive.  Currently, I
have the following installed:

You have searched for packages that names contain gcc-4.6-hppa in all
suites, all sections, and all architectures. Found 1 matching
packages.
Package gcc-4.6-hppa64
sid (unstable) (devel): The GNU C compiler (cross compiler for hppa64)
4.6.0-2: hppa

Which are indeed older than the version that you report, but seem to
be the only ones in the archive.  And for 4.7:

http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gcc-4.7-hppa64
You have searched for packages that names contain gcc-4.7-hppa64 in
all suites, all sections, and all architectures.
Sorry, your search gave no results

Also, you say that the packages are built by yourself, so maybe this
file is because of changes in debian/rules or something?


Haven't changed anything in the debian directory.

Typically, I just build with "apt-get --compile source gcc-4.6", etc; then install if build is successful. I work around the bug by saving /usr/ lib/liberty.a and using the "--force-overwrite" option when installing. Then, I put back
the saved version.

Suspect the control files for gcc-4.6-hppa64 package need tweaking.

Probably, most users don't install multiple compiler versions.
