Package: ntp Version: 1:4.2.0a+stable-9 Severity: important
I was doing an apt-get update which included an upgrade of packages ntp, ntp-simple and ntpdate. During the unpacking on ntp, I got this: Desempaquetando el reemplazo de ntp ... dpkg: error al procesar /var/cache/apt/archives/ntp_1%3a4.2.2+dfsg.2-2_amd64.deb (--unpack): intentando sobreescribir `/usr/sbin/ntpd', que está también en el paquete ntp-simple dpkg-deb: el subproceso paste fue terminado por la señal (Tubería rota) Rough reverse translation is: Unpacking the replacement of ntp ... dpkg: error while processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ntp_1%3a4.2.2+dfsg.2-2_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/sbin/ntpd', which is also in package ntp-simple dpkg-deb: the paste subprocess was ended with signal (Broken pipe) Following that, package ntp-simple was upgraded to 1:4.2.2.+dfsg.2-1. After the error, I restarted (apt-get -f install) and it successfully installed the package ntp and continued configuring the rest of packages. So this sounds to me like a trivial packaging bug in the transitional package. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-1-amd64-k8 Locale: LANG=es_CL, LC_CTYPE=es_CL (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages ntp depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcap1 1:1.10-14 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libreadline5 5.1-8 GNU readline and history libraries pn libssl0.9.8 <none> (no description available) ii perl-modules 5.8.8-6.1 Core Perl modules ii psmisc 22.3-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy Versions of packages ntp recommends: pn ntp-server <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information
