Package: libfontforge1 Version: 0.0.20120101+git-3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, Preparing to replace libfontforge1 0.0.20120101+git-2 (using .../libfontforge1_0.0.20120101+git-4_amd64.deb) ... Unpacking replacement libfontforge1 ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libfontforge1_0.0.20120101+git-4_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libgdraw.so.4.0.10', which is also in package libgdraw4 0.0.20120101+git-4 configured to not write apport reports dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libfontforge1_0.0.20120101+git-4_amd64.deb
It turns out that since 0.0.20120101+git-3 all .so files are installed in libfontforge1 including libgdraw4 ones: debian/rules: override_dh_install: $(MAKE) install prefix=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp/usr libdir=$(CURDIR)/debian/libfontforge1/usr/lib I do not know how libgdraw4 finds its own library so file (as it should not be in debian/tmp but only in debian/libfontforge1/ ) , but it turns out that it also has it. As fontforge depends on libgdraw4 and libfontforge1 this is unfixable on the user end side thus the high severity . I believe libgdraw4 was intended to become a transitional empty package. Only a guess though.
