I had no issues upgrading from wesnoth-1.13 1.13.2-1 to 1.13.4-1 on my own system, with wesnoth-1.12 installed at the same time. I also can't reproduce this in a clean pbuilder chroot, i.e.: # pbuilder --create --distribution sid --mirror http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian # pbuilder login # apt-get install wesnoth-1.12 # echo "deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20160331T221016Z/ experimental main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/exp.list # apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update # apt-get install wesnoth-1.13 # installs 1.13.2-1 from snapshot.d.o # echo "deb http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian experimental main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/exp.list # apt-get update # apt-get dist-upgrade # installs 1.13.4-1 successfully And piuparts doesn't report any installation errors either [1], although I suppose the piuparts.d.o reports don't mean much since it's just testing clean installs of 1.13.4-1, not upgrades from 1.13.2-1 to 1.13.4-1. I didn't change anything in any of the maintscripts when I updated the packaging for wesnoth-1.13 1.13.4-1, so I'm frankly stumped as to why you're seeing this error. Rhonda, any ideas?
