Bug#417564: sarge->etch: x11-common has to conflict with ucbmpeg-play
Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.1.0-15
Severity: important
My "apt-get dist-upgrade" failed because /usr/X11R6/bin was not empty.
The only binary left was mpegplay from ucbmpeg-play. Even after removing
the binary the package x11-common failed to install:
root@xeniac:/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_1%3a7.1.0-15_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 176535 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking x11-common (from .../x11-common_1%3a7.1.0-15_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_1%3a7.1.0-15_i386.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/bin', which is also in package ucbmpeg-play
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_1%3a7.1.0-15_i386.deb
