Bug#901043: vkd3d-demos: /usr/bin/triangle is already shipped by the triangle-bin package



Package: vkd3d-demos
Version: 1.0-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'testing'.
It installed fine in 'testing', then the upgrade to 'sid' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package vkd3d-demos.
  Preparing to unpack .../vkd3d-demos_1.0-2_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking vkd3d-demos (1.0-2) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/vkd3d-demos_1.0-2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/triangle', which is also in package triangle-bin 1.6-2
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/vkd3d-demos_1.0-2_amd64.deb

I don't think a -demos package should ship binaries with generic
names in /usr/bin - and maybe not in /usr/bin at all.

This is *not* to be solved with Breaks+Replaces!


cheers,

Andreas
