Okay, that's weird... "apt-get upgrade" yielded the same result. From what I can tell apt (or dpkg) always tries to install vim-tiny first, so of course it always tried to install vim-tiny with the old vim-common still installed: > # sudo dpkg -i vim-common_1%3a7.1.293-3_arm.deb vim-tiny_1%3a7.1.293-3_arm.deb > (Reading database ... 31310 files and directories currently installed.) > Preparing to replace vim-common 1:7.1.293-3 (using > vim-common_1%3a7.1.293-3_arm.deb) ... > Unpacking replacement vim-common ... > Preparing to replace vim-tiny 1:7.1-266+1 (using > vim-tiny_1%3a7.1.293-3_arm.deb) ... > Unpacking replacement vim-tiny ... > dpkg: error processing vim-tiny_1%3a7.1.293-3_arm.deb (--install): > trying to overwrite `/etc/vim/vimrc.tiny', which is also in package > vim-common > Setting up vim-common (1:7.1.293-3) ... > Processing triggers for man-db ... > Errors were encountered while processing: > vim-tiny_1%3a7.1.293-3_arm.deb Still, after installing vim-common_1%3a7.1.293-3_arm.deb by hand out of the local apt archive installation of vim-tiny_1%3a7.1.293-3_arm.deb still fails: > # /var/cache/apt/archives 1011% sudo dpkg -i vim-common_1%3a7.1.293-3_arm.deb > (Reading database ... 31310 files and directories currently installed.) > Preparing to replace vim-common 1:7.1.293-3 (using > vim-common_1%3a7.1.293-3_arm.deb) ... > Unpacking replacement vim-common ... > Setting up vim-common (1:7.1.293-3) ... > Processing triggers for man-db ... > > # /var/cache/apt/archives 1012% sudo dpkg -i vim-tiny_1%3a7.1.293-3_arm.deb > (Reading database ... 31310 files and directories currently installed.) > Preparing to replace vim-tiny 1:7.1-266+1 (using > vim-tiny_1%3a7.1.293-3_arm.deb) ... > Unpacking replacement vim-tiny ... > dpkg: error processing vim-tiny_1%3a7.1.293-3_arm.deb (--install): > trying to overwrite `/etc/vim/vimrc.tiny', which is also in package > vim-common > Errors were encountered while processing: > vim-tiny_1%3a7.1.293-3_arm.deb Of course, dpkg-deb -c doesn't show any sign of vimrc.tiny in the now-installed vim-common... :/ Anyway, I've dpkg -i --force-all'ed the vim-tiny package into my installation now and of course a "dpkg -L vim-common | grep tiny" now comes up empty... though I'm wondering what's going to happen on the next update... So as far as my side is concerned I'd say this bug can probably be closed, even though we still don't know what happened exactly - it's as if dpkg was somehow unable to grok that /etc/vim/vimrc.tiny wasn't provided by the new vim-common anymore... :( -- Kurt Bernhard Pruenner --- Haendelstrasse 17 --- 4020 Linz --- Austria .......It might be written "Mindfuck", but it's spelt "L-A-I-N"....... np: Aesop Rock - Oxygen (Float) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
