Bug#483462: dvi2ps-fontdesc-morisawa5 tries to overwrite file owned by dvi2ps
Package: dvi2ps-fontdesc-morisawa5 Version: 0.3.2 Severity: serious 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 deselected package dvi2ps-fontdesc-morisawa5. Unpacking dvi2ps-fontdesc-morisawa5 (from .../dvi2ps-fontdesc-morisawa5_0.3.2_all.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dvi2ps-fontdesc-morisawa5_0.3.2_a ll.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/share/texmf/dvi2ps/fontsk/bikan-morisawa', which is also in package dvi2ps This is a serious bug as it makes installation fail. Possible solutions are to have the two packages conflict, to rename the common file in one of the two packages, or to remove the file from one package and have this package depend on the other package. File diversions or a Replace relation are another possibility. This bug could in principle be filed against any of the two packages. I might have made the wrong choice in filing the bug against your package, in this case please feel free to reassign to the other package. -Ralf. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

This is a serious bug as it makes installation fail. Possible solutions are to have the two packages conflict, to rename the common file in one of the two packages, or to remove the file from one package and have this package depend on the other package. File diversions or a Replace relation are another possibility. In the present case, dvi2ps-fontdesc-morisawa5 depends on dvi2ps so possible solutions are very limited. I think to rename the common file in dvi2ps-fontdesc-morisawa5 at present. This bug could in principle be filed against any of the two packages. I might have made the wrong choice in filing the bug against your package, in this case please feel free to reassign to the other package. Yes, you certainly made the right choice.
