Package: gitsome Severity: serious Hi,
trying to install gitsome while xonsh is already installed fails as follows: Unpacking gitsome (0.6.0-1) ... dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/gitsome_0.6.0-1_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/xonsh', which is also in package xonsh 0.5.5+dfsg-1 dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/gitsome_0.6.0-1_all.deb According to https://github.com/donnemartin/gitsome it is "powered by xonsh", so it should probably depend on it instead of shipping a copy of it. Additionally the gitsome source package seems to contain an embedded code copy of xonsh. Embedded code copies are not wanted in Debian (if possible), so you might want to repack the upstream tar ball to remove the copy of xonsh and instead build-depend on it. See https://wiki.debian.org/EmbeddedCodeCopies for details. Filing this as a single bug report because fixing the latter issue properly will likely also fix the former. Feel free to clone the bug report if you think these two issues should be regarded as separate issues. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (110, 'experimental'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'buildd-experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init)
