Since the bug appears when you install libwxgtk2.4-python, it seems it is a problem with the wx2.4 package. The solution is to Conflict against wxpython2.5.3.
I'm not sure what critical bug you are going to forward (this bug was marked important), so I don't really know to what you are referring to. Perhaps the reason "nobody cares to read it before reporting the same issue repeatedly to the wrong place" is maybe because you closed this bug right away, but it has not been resolved. If you close it before the bug is resolved, then it will go away and nobody can read it and you will wonder why the next person comes along and reports it. It sounds from what you are saying that wx2.5 shouldn't be in the archive at all, and you will file a bug to have it removed. Thats great, however, until then it makes sense to Conflict against that package until that does happen. micah On Thu, 28 Apr 2005, Ron wrote: > > This is not a problem in the wx2.4 packages. > I will be forwarding the critical bug against wx2.5 to ftp-admin > to have it removed from the archive immediately, since apparently > nobody cares to read it before reporting the same issue repeatedly > to the wrong place. > > Thanks! > > On Wed, Apr 27, 2005 at 12:10:52PM -0500, Micah Anderson wrote: > > Package: libwxgtk2.4-python > > Version: 2.4.2.6 > > Severity: important > > > > It appears as if libwxgtk2.4-python should Conflict with wxpython2.5.3 > > otherwise the following occurs: > > > > Preparing to replace libwxgtk2.4-python 2.4.2.6 (using > > .../libwxgtk2.4-python_2.4.2.6.1_i386.deb) ... > > Unpacking replacement libwxgtk2.4-python ... > > dpkg: error processing > > /var/cache/apt/archives/libwxgtk2.4-python_2.4.2.6.1_i386.deb > > (--unpack): trying to overwrite /usr/bin/helpviewer', which is also > > in package wxpython2.5.3 > > dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) > > > > Errors were encountered while processing: > > /var/cache/apt/archives/libwxgtk2.4-python_2.4.2.6.1_i386.deb > > E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) > > > > # apt-cache policy wxpython2.5.3 > > wxpython2.5.3: > > Installed: 2.5.3.2 > > Candidate: 2.5.3.2 > > Version Table: > > *** 2.5.3.2 0 > > 300 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages > > 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status > > > > > > > > -- System Information: > > Debian Release: 3.1 > > APT prefers unstable > > APT policy: (300, 'unstable') > > Architecture: i386 (i686) > > Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-vs1.9.5 > > Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) > > > > Versions of packages libwxgtk2.4-python depends on: > > ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared > > libraries an > > ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-12 GCC support library > > ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-12 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 > > ii libwxgtk2.4 2.4.2.6.1 wxWindows Cross-platform C++ > > GUI t > > ii python2.3 2.3.5-2 An interactive high-level > > object-o > > ii xlibmesa-gl [libgl1] 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 Mesa 3D graphics library > > [XFree86] > > ii xlibmesa-glu [libglu 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 Mesa OpenGL utility library > > [XFree > > > > -- no debconf information > > > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
