Bug#815102: linux-perf-4.4 conflicts with linux-perf-4.3



Package: linux-perf-4.4
Version: 4.4-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

apt-get dist-upgrade

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

tried a dist-upgrade and while unpacking linux-perf-4.4, dpkg complains that it can't overwrite
/usr/share/perf-core/strace/groups/file which is also present on linux-perf-4.3

   * What was the outcome of this action?

linux-perf-4.4 can't be installed

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

both linux-perf 4.3 and 4.4 should be able to be installed together on a system
and they should be usable depending on which kernel is running.

Here's relevant output from apt-get dist-upgrade:

Unpacking linux-perf-4.4 (4.4-1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-perf-4.4_4.4-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/perf-core/strace/groups/file', which is also in package linux-perf-4.3 4.3.1-2
