Bug#342601: Duplicate files in initramfs-tools and udev when upgrading both
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.42
Severity: normal
I don't know whether this is because of initramfs-tools or udev,
or both, but when I upgraded them together they hit a spot of trouble:
Preparing to replace udev 0.076-4 (using .../archives/udev_0.076-5_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement udev ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/udev_0.076-5_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev', which is also in
package initramfs-tools
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Preparing to replace initramfs-tools 0.40 (using .../initramfs-tools_0.42_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement initramfs-tools ...
...
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/udev_0.076-5_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the
packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors
or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, only the errors
above this message are important. Please fix them and run [I]nstall again
