Bug#460508: Login provides an man for su which is in manpages-de, too
Package: login Version: 1:4.1.0-1 Hello, with the last update you've added an manpage for su, which is good. But now it can't be used with manpages-de: Preparing to replace login 1:4.0.18.2-1 (using .../login_1%3a4.1.0-1_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement login ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/login_1%3a4.1.0-1_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/de/man1/su.1.gz', which is also in package manpages-de dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/login_1%3a4.1.0-1_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) gnu:~# -- Mit freundlichem Gruß / With kind regards, Patrick Matthäi E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.Linux-Dev.org/

Why a Conflict? bumping the versioned Replaces: to (= 0.5-2) should do the trick as well, and doesn't force manpages-de off people's systems. I'll remove the German translation of su(1) in the next upload. (Incidentially, this is semi-automated. Before uploading a new version, I check the Packages file for duplicate man pages and remove them from the manpages-de debs.)

I'll remove the German translation of su(1) in the next upload. Any idea when you'll do the upload ? We'd better use a versioned Replaces immediately but that requires some commitment from you to upload soon enough to avoid a too long time gap where shadow (indeed login) will make manpages-de uninstallable. In case you think you can't upload in less than very few days, we will first use a non versioned Replaces, then a versioned one as soon as you have uploaded the fixed package. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

With a Replaces (rather than a Conflict), both packages will co-install just fine. Please use a Replaces: manpages-de (= 0.5-2), which assumes that the bug will be fixed in the next upload. I'll try to get that done within the next days. Regards, Daniel.

Quoting Daniel Kobras ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): With a Replaces (rather than a Conflict), both packages will co-install Yes, I already explained that my mention of a Conflict was incorrect. We were already using Replaces for many packages (including an old version of manpages-de) just fine. Please use a Replaces: manpages-de (= 0.5-2), which assumes that the bug will be fixed in the next upload. I'll try to get that done within the next days. Nicolas and I finally settled on Replaces: manpages-de which was the safest option even though it'll obviously require an extraupload when you have fixed the bug in manpages-de. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
