Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/courier-imap_4.4.1-1.1_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) This is a serious bug as it makes installation fail. 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. Here is a list of files that are known to be shared by both packages (according to the Contents file for sid/amd64, which may be slightly out of sync): etc/pam.d/imap usr/sbin/imapd usr/share/man/man8/imapd.8.gz Similar bugs happen also in connction with other packages, that is why I suspect that this uw_imap's fault: with cyrus-imapd-2.2: --------------------- dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/cyrus-imapd-2.2_2.2.13-17_amd64.d eb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/etc/pam.d/imap', which is also in package uw-imapd 8:2007 e~dfsg-1 Common files are: etc/pam.d/imap usr/share/man/man8/imapd.8.gz with cyrus-pop3d: ----------------- dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/cyrus-pop3d-2.2_2.2.13-17_amd64.d eb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/etc/pam.d/pop', which is also in package ipopd 8:2007e~dfsg-1 Common files are: etc/pam.d/pop with kolab-cyrus-imapd: ----------------------- dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/kolab-cyrus-imapd_2.2.13-7_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man8/imapd.8.gz', which is also in package uw-imapd 8:2007e~dfsg-1 Common files are: usr/share/man/man8/imapd.8.gz -Ralf. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
