Summary of Package Overlaps
-=========================================================================-
One of the release requirements for 2.0 is that the --force-overwrite
flag for dpkg can be turned off by default. This means that there
should be no problematic overlaps between packages in the main
distribution.
I generate the raw material for this list with an awk script that
parses the Contents and Packages files. The script ignores
directories, and ignores overlaps between packages that conflict with
each other. The awk script was posted to debian-devel once, and
can also be found as part of bug report #12308.
The summary now includes the non-us packages, and I did indeed find
two overlaps that way.
This version of the summary is based on
hamm/Contents-i386 from 1998-02-02/18:10 (GMT)
hamm/main/Packages from 1998-02-04/15:10 (GMT)
hamm/non-free/Packages from 1998-02-03/16:16 (GMT)
hamm/contrib/Packages from 1998-02-04/15:11 (GMT)
The non-us archive from 1998-02-05
We're now up to 30 overlaps, partly due to the presence of libc5-dev
in hamm (this effectively moved half a dozen overlaps from the hamm/bo
list to this list).

-=========================================================================-
Overlaps:
Overlap between libgdbmg1-dev_1.7.3-21 and libc6-dev_2.0.6-3:
usr/include/ndbm.h
The file is identical in both packages. Since libgdbmg is designed
to be used with libc6, it should be able to assume that any program
that needs it will also need libc6-dev, and thus already have ndbm.h.
Reported as bugs #10640 and #12993 to libgdbmg1-dev.
Overlap between xless_1.7-5 and scilab_2.2-4 (non-free):
usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XLess
scilab provides usr/lib/scilab/bin/xless. If this is not an xless
version, then this is a widget name collision. If it is, then it
should probably be made to use the xless package instead.
Reported as bug #9006 to scilab and #9008 to xless.
Overlap between ircii_2.9.3roof-1 and bitchx-lib_0.70-2:
[lots, in usr/lib/irc/]
The bitchx packages have been combined into a single package, so
presumably bitchx-lib is going to disappear.
Reported as bug #8990 to ircii, and #8983 and #8413 to bitchx-lib.
Overlap between xtar-dmotif_1.4-2 (contrib) and xtar-smotif_1.4-2 (contrib):
usr/X11R6/bin/xtar
usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTar
usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xtar/xtar.doc
usr/X11R6/man/man1/xtar.1x.gz

usr/doc/xtar/README.HPPD
usr/doc/xtar/README.debian
usr/doc/xtar/buildinfo.Debian
usr/doc/xtar/changelog.Debian
usr/doc/xtar/copyright
These should probably conflict.
Reported as bugs #9004 to xtar-dmotif and #9009 to xtar-smotif.
Overlap between xemacs19_19.16-1 and xemacs20_20.2-4:
usr/bin/pstogif
Reported as bug #11962 to xemacs20 (shared with entry below)
Overlap between xemacs20-support_20.2-4 and xemacs19-support_19.16-1:
usr/lib/xemacs/lock
usr/lib/xemacs/site-lisp/debian-rundir.el
usr/lib/xemacs/site-lisp/site-start.el
Reported as bug #11962 to xemacs20 (shared with entry above)
Overlap between gnats_3.104-1, xemacs20_20.2-4 and gnats-user_3.104-1:
usr/bin/install-sid
usr/bin/send-pr
gnats conflicts with gnats-user, but neither conflicts with xemacs20.
Reported as bug #12276 to gnats and #12277 to xemacs20.
Overlap between amanda-client_2.4.0b6-8 and amanda_2.3.0.4-2:

usr/man/man8/amrestore.8.gz
usr/sbin/amrestore
Both overlaps reported as #17838 to amanda-common.

usr/lib/libss.a
usr/lib/libss.so
usr/lib/libuuid.a
usr/lib/libuuid.so
Package e2compr conflicts, provides, and replaces e2fsprogs. It
probably needs to be updated now that e2fsprogs has split into
several packages.
Reported as bug #14083 to e2compr.
The maintainer replies: "I am currently trying to develop a strategy
for getting e2compr properly packaged. The current mechanism is a
hack. This will be fixed then."

usr/X11R6/include/X11/magick/widget.h
usr/X11R6/lib/libMagick.a
usr/X11R6/lib/libMagick.so
These depend on libmagick and libmagick-lzw, respectively, which conflict.
But they need to confict directly as well, because dpkg does not check
dependencies until after unpacking.
Reported as #17839 to libmagick-dev.
Overlap between libc5-dev_5.4.38-1 and binutils-dev_2.8.1.0.19-1:

libc5-dev.
Reported as #17848 to libatalk14g-dev.
Overlap between libc5-dev_5.4.38-1 and libc6-dev_2.0.6-3:
[lots]
libc5-dev needs to provide and conflict with the virtual package libc-dev.
Reported as #17616 to libc5-dev
Overlap between libc5-dev_5.4.38-1 and gmp_2.0.2-3:
usr/include/gmp-mparam.h
Bug #16485 requests the removal of gmp.
Overlap between libc6-dbg_2.0.6-3 and libc5-dbg_5.4.38-1:
usr/lib/libc_p.a
* Not reported
Overlap between cfs_1.3.3-1 (nonus,orphaned) and chris-cust_0.4:
usr/bin/i
Right. I wonder which is the more intuitive meaning for i.
Reported as #17841 to cfs and #17842 to christ-cust.

usr/man/man5/xferlog.5.gz

conflicts with hylafax-server, even though they do conflict with each other.
Reported as #17844 to wu-ftpd and #17845 to hylafax-server.
