Bug#412952: [Fwd: Bug#412952: file conflicts between afnix and aleph]
Could I have some advice about the best way to fix this one please? Here's
a summary:
* The obsolete package "aleph" is supserseded by "afnix".
* I've requested the removal of aleph from unstable (bug #389163).
* There is already another RC bug against "aleph", as it conflicts with
tetex-bin.
I didn't make afnix "Replaces:" aleph because aleph is scheduled for
removal. I guess I should have done? What would be best - uploading a new
version of afnix, or marking this bug as blocked by 389163?
Thanks,
Paul

Package: afnix, aleph
Severity: serious
Justification: file conflicts between packages, policy violation
hi,
both afnix and aleph do ship several files of eachother but do not
conflict or add a diversion, thus fail to be installed on the same
environment:
Unpacking aleph (from .../aleph_0.9.0-3_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/aleph_0.9.0-3_amd64.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/axc', which is also in package afnix
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/aleph_0.9.0-3_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
full list of files conflicting:
'usr/share/man/man1/axc.1.gz'
'usr/share/man/man1/axl.1.gz'
'usr/bin/axc'
'usr/bin/axd'
'usr/bin/axl'
bye,
