The file /usr/share/man/man3/second.3.gz is contained in the packages
* libg2c-dev/2.1.0-1 as present in trixie|unstable
* liblapack-doc/3.12.1-2 as present in trixie|unstable
These packages can be unpacked concurrently, because there is no
relevant Replaces or Conflicts relation. Attempting to unpack these
packages concurrently results in an unpack error from dpkg, because none
of the packages installs a diversion for the affected file.
Please figure out which of these packages should properly own the
affected file and reassign the bug as appropriate. When doing so, please
add the other package to the set of affected packages using "Control:
affects -1 + <packagename>" to avoid the filing of duplicates.
The other package should stop installing the file. In case the file is
being moved between packages, Breaks and Replaces should be declared. In
this case, please refer to policy section 7.6 for details. Another
useful resource is https://wiki.debian.org/PackageTransition.
I notice that the version of that manpage in libg2c-dev is broken:
$ man second
man: can't resolve man3/g2c_message_info.3
No manual entry for second
Also, it seems that every field in the g2c_message_info struct has a
(broken) manpage.
So I’m inclined to think that it’s rather libg2c-dev that should remove
the conflicting file. But I’m also open to the idea of removing it from
liblapack-doc.
Alastair: what do you think?

Commander Vimes didn’t like the phrase “The innocent have nothing to fear,”
believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in
the longer term
even more from those who say things like “The innocent have nothing to fear.”
