Bug#480686: libkjsembed-dev: tries to overwrite file owned by kdelibs5-dev
Package: libkjsembed-dev
Version: 4:3.5.9-1+b1
Severity: serious
Hi,
automatic installation tests of packages that share a file and at the
same time do not conflict by their package dependency relationships has
detected the following problem:
Unpacking libkjsembed-dev (from
.../libkjsembed-dev_4%3a3.5.9-1+b1_amd64.deb) .. .
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/libkjsembed-dev_4%3a3.5.9-1+b1_am
d64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libkjsembed.so', which is also in package
kdelibs5-dev
A full log of the installation attempt can be found here:
http://edos.debian.net/missing-conflicts/logs/2008-05-10/kdelibs5-dev_libkjsembed-dev
This is a serious bug as it makes installation fail. Possible
solutions are to have the two packages conflict, to rename the common
file in one of the two packages, or to remove the file from one
package and have this package depend on the other package. File
diversions are another possibility.
This bug could in principle be filed against any of the two packages.
I might have made the wrong choice in filing the bug against your
package, in this case please feel free to reassign to the other
package.
-Ralf.
