broken dependency with libgnome-dev

[Peter Jay Salzman <p@dirac.org>]

dear all,

should i report this as a bug?

i have nothing gnomeish on my system.  i'd like to start developing xvoice
(which depends on gnome libraries, but one of the things we're doing is
removing the gnome dependencies).   i need gnome.h, so wanted to install
libgnome-dev.  that added a couple of other packages, including
gnome-libs-data.  apparently, the two packages are trying to write to the
same file.

is this a bug that should go reported?

Unpacking libgnome-dev (from .../libgnome-dev_1.0.56-3_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/libgnome-dev_1.0.56-3_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/share/idl/name-service.idl', which is also in
package gnome-libs-data
