Bug#377403: glibc: locales not installable in experimental



Package: glibc
Version: 2.3.999.2-8
Severity: important
Tags: experimental

The locales package from experimental fails to install, due to a
file conflict with libc6:

,--------------
| iphigenie:/# apt-get install locales libc6-dev libc6 -t experimental
| ...
| Setting up libc6 (2.3.999.2-8) ...
| Selecting previously deselected package locales-data.
| (Reading database ... 13490 files and directories currently installed.)

| Unpacking replacement locales ...
| dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/locales_2.3.999.2-8_i386.deb (--unpack):
|  trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/localedef', which is also in package libc6
| dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
| Errors were encountered while processing:
|  /var/cache/apt/archives/locales_2.3.999.2-8_i386.deb
| E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
`--------------

I.e. /usr/bin/localedef is in both locales and libc6 from
experimental.

Cheers,
Christian Aichinger
