Bug#355250: tetex-doc: collides with tetex-doc-nonfree



Package: tetex-doc-nonfree
Version: 1.0-1
Severity: important

Hello,

tetex-doc-nonfree contains files which are also in tetex-doc 3.0-15.

Unpacking tetex-doc-nonfree (from .../tetex-doc-nonfree_1.0-1_all.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/tetex-doc-nonfree_1.0-1_all.deb (--install):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/share/doc/texmf/context/base/ms-cb-en.pdf.gz', which is also in package tetex-doc
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/tetex-doc-nonfree_1.0-1_all.deb

I know that tetex-doc-nonfree replaces parts of tetex-doc, however,
tetex-doc-nonfree just Replaces: tetex-doc (<= 3.0-14) So I assume the
deal was to remove the questionable files from tetex-doc 3.0-15.

I also know the bug would be better suited against tetex-doc 3.0-15,
however, unfortunately, tetex-doc 3.0-15 is upgradable from 3.0-14 with
tetex-doc-nonfree 1.0-1 present. I don't know why this is (perhaps some
bug in dpkg?), but the other way around (installing tetex-doc-nonfree
1.0-1 while tetex-doc 3.0-15 is present) fails as shown above, so I file
the bug against tetex-doc-nonfree.
Since the maintainers are the same, I think this is not a big issue,
though :)


Thanks for your work & regards
