Package: bash, bash-completion
Severity: serious
Hi,
I got this on the buildd:
Unpacking bash-completion (from .../bash-completion_1%3a1.1-3_all.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing
/home/buildd/build/chroot-unstable/var/cache/apt/archives/bash-completion_1%3a1.1-3_all.deb
(--unpack): trying to overwrite `/etc/bash_completion', which is also in
package bash
On the system:
excelsior:~# ls -l /etc/bash_completion
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 215907 Jul 5 2006 /etc/bash_completion
excelsior:~# dpkg --search /etc/bash_completion
bash: /etc/bash_completion
This is with bash 4.0-7.

Indeed.
Also, regarding Luk's comment about "weird versioned Replaces", it seems like
I'm not the only one using them:
$ apt-cache dumpavail | grep ^Replaces | grep -c \<
2309
$ apt-cache dumpavail | grep ^Replaces | grep -v -c \<
2148
It seems like versioned replaces are being used more than unversioned ones. :)
I'm closing this bug, since it seems to be environment-dependent and not
reproducible.
