Hi Valentin, I just received the bug below. It seems that the manpage duplication is actually upstream: - https://github.com/containers/common/blob/master/docs/containers-mounts.conf.5.md - https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/master/docs/source/markdown/containers-mounts.conf.5.md
They both seem to have identical content. Maybe one of those copied should be deleted? How do the fedora packagers get around this issue? Thanks and best regards, -rt On Tue, Dec 15, 2020 at 2:51 PM Andreas Beckmann <a...@debian.org> wrote: > Package: podman,golang-github-containers-common > Severity: serious > User: trei...@debian.org > Usertags: edos-file-overwrite > Control: found -1 2.1.1+dfsg1-2 > Control: found -1 0.28.1+ds1-1 > > Hi, > > automatic installation tests of packages that share a file and at the > same time do not conflict by their package dependency relationships has > detected the following problem: > > Preparing to unpack > .../golang-github-containers-common_0.28.1+ds1-1_all.deb ... > Unpacking golang-github-containers-common (0.28.1+ds1-1) over > (0.26.3+ds1-2) ... > dpkg: error processing archive > /var/cache/apt/archives/golang-github-containers-common_0.28.1+ds1-1_all.deb > (--unpack): > trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man5/containers-mounts.conf.5.gz', > which is also in package podman 2.1.1+dfsg1-2 > Errors were encountered while processing: > > /var/cache/apt/archives/golang-github-containers-common_0.28.1+ds1-1_all.deb > > This is a serious bug as it makes installation fail, and violates > sections 7.6.1 and 10.1 of the policy.
