Package: libtextwrap-dev Version: 0.1-2 Severity: serious Setting severity to serious as I believe policy states clearly that a package must conflict with other packages containing the same file as the package itself.
When trying to upgrade my sid chroot, I ran into this problem: Unpacking replacement libtextwrap-dev ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libtextwrap-dev_0.1-2_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/dotextwrap.1.gz', which is also in package libtextwrap1 Preparing to replace libtextwrap1 0.1-1 (using .../libtextwrap1_0.1-2_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement libtextwrap1 ... [...] Unpacking replacement gs ... Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libtextwrap-dev_0.1-2_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Ack! Something bad happened while installing packages. Trying to recover: Setting up libtextwrap1 (0.1-2) ... Setting up libdebian-installer4 (0.34) ... The manual page seem to have moved from libtextwrap1 to libtextwrap-dev without the proper conflict lines being set on the packages. Running upgrade again fixed the problem, as the new libtextwrap1 was now installed and no longer included the /usr/share/man/man1/dotextwrap.1.gz file. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages libtextwrap-dev depends on: ii libtextwrap1 0.1-2 text-wrapping library with i18n - libtextwrap-dev recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
