Package: libpwl3 Version: 0.9-5 Severity: serious Hi,
automatic installation tests of packages that share a file and at the same time do not conflict by their package dependency relationships has detected the following problem: Date: 2008-09-22 Architecture: amd64 Distribution: sid Command: apt-get --assume-yes --allow-unauthenticated install libpwl-dev libpwl3 Reading package lists...

Possible solutions are to have the two packages conflict, to rename the common file in one of the two packages, or to remove the file from one package and have this package depend on the other package. File diversions or a Replace relation are another possibility. This bug will be assigned to both packages libpwl3 and libpwl-dev. -Ralf. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
