Bug#722660: libgraphviz-dev and blt-dev: error when trying to install together

[David Claughton <dave@eclecticdave.com>]

reassign 722660 blt
thanks

Hi,

I'm reassigning this to blt as it looks like this might be a
regression.  The changelog for version 2.4z-3 says the following:

"Moved the man pages and HTML docs for the BLT commands from the blt-dev
package to the blt package, where they really belong. Left just the man
pages for the BLT C API calls in the blt-dev package. Renamed the
command man pages to have the extension .3blt (I wanted to use .3tcl,
but that caused a conflict with the tcllib package)."

This appears to be the case up to the latest version, where the files
seem to be back in the dev package and are no longer renamed .3blt.  I
can't see anything in the more recent changelog entries that would
suggest that this is deliberate.

Cheers,

    David.
