Package: grub-cloud-amd64 Version: 0.0.1 Severity: serious User: [email protected] Usertags: edos-file-overwrite
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: Selecting previously unselected package grub-cloud-amd64. Preparing to unpack .../6-grub-cloud-amd64_0.0.1_amd64.deb ... Unpacking grub-cloud-amd64 (0.0.1) ... dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-5Ao0pQ/6-grub-cloud-amd64_0.0.1_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub', which is also in package grub-coreboot 2.02+dfsg1-6 It's a bit unfortunate that the grub packages don't use Provides+Conflicts+Replaces on a virtual package to ensure only variant is installed. So you'll have to list all the packages in your Conflicts. Here is a list of files that are known to be shared by both packages (according to the Contents file for sid/amd64, which may be slightly out of sync): etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub This bug is assigned to both packages. If you, the maintainers of the two packages in question, have agreed on which of the packages will resolve the problem please reassign the bug to that package. You may also register in the BTS that the other package is affected by the bug. Cheers, Andreas PS: for more information about the detection of file overwrite errors of this kind see https://qa.debian.org/dose/file-overwrites.html
