Dear Maintainer, the new version 1.8.1+dfsg1-1 of mate-applets contains files with the same name as gnome-applets 3.8.1-1. As a consequence, it is uninstallable if one also installs gnome-applets. This means that on sid, at the moment, I cannot install on a machine a full gnome desktop and a full mate desktop at the same time, letting individual users choose which one they prefer to use. Suggested solutions: 1) quick and dirty (unsatisfactory for me, but can be a temporary band aid): add a conflicts with gnome-applets 2) optimal solution: change the names of the conflicting applets (possibly coordinating with the gnome-applets maintainer) 3) less work than 2) but also less good: use the debian alternatives system to make mate and gnome applets with the same name coexist (definitely coordinating with the gnome-applets maintainer) 4) something else that I did not think about Bye Giacomo Mulas
Thanks for reporting this. This needs to be fixed upstream+downstream.What are the files that trouble you (and us all)? (Asking, because I can't check right now, because I am at a customer).
