Subject: dpkg: update-alternatives stomps on installed file?
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.3.7

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10
Severity: normal
with sources.list pointing at testing, try this:
apt-get install tkmail
file /usr/bin/dotlock
dpkg -S /usr/bin/dotlock
apt-get install maildrop
file /usr/bin/dotlock
It is the packages' responsibility to set this right (tkmail should ship
dotlock.tkmail instead), but nevertheless I think update-alternatives
should check for and stop this before it happens (make maildrop installation
fail). After all, that's what would happen if maildrop tried to ship
/usr/bin/dotlock as a straight file.

According to the submitter, one of the packages involved
already fixed this by renaming the file.
