Bug#499832: libppl7: tries to overwrite file owned by libppl6
Package: libppl7
Version: 0.10~pre27-3
Severity: serious
Hi,
automatic installation tests of packages that share a file and at the
same time do not conflict by their package dependency relationships has
detected the following problem:

This is a serious bug as it makes installation fail. Possible
solutions are to have the two packages conflict, to rename the common
file in one of the two packages, or to remove the file from one
package and have this package depend on the other package. File
diversions or a Replace relation are another possibility.
This bug will be assigned to both packages libppl6 and libppl7.
