Bug#272356: libquantum-entanglement-perl: Package contains spurious /usr/lib/perl/5.8
Package: libquantum-entanglement-perl
Version: 0.25-3
Severity: important
This package seems to contain /usr/lib/perl/5.8, which is preventing
perl-base 5.8.4-2.2 from installing, since:
Unpacking replacement perl-base ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/perl-base_5.8.4-2.2_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/perl/5.8', which is also in package
libquantum-entanglement-perl
If I read the situation correctly, the problem is with this package and
not perl-base (which wants to update the directory to a symlink to
/usr/lib/perl/5.8.4).
Severity important since this prevents perl-base from being upgraded.
