Package: linux-perf-4.4 Version: 4.4-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? apt-get dist-upgrade * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? tried a dist-upgrade and while unpacking linux-perf-4.4, dpkg complains that it can't overwrite /usr/share/perf-core/strace/groups/file which is also present on linux-perf-4.3 * What was the outcome of this action? linux-perf-4.4 can't be installed * What outcome did you expect instead? both linux-perf 4.3 and 4.4 should be able to be installed together on a system and they should be usable depending on which kernel is running. Here's relevant output from apt-get dist-upgrade: Unpacking linux-perf-4.4 (4.4-1) ... dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-perf-4.4_4.4-1_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/perf-core/strace/groups/file', which is also in package linux-perf-4.3 4.3.1-2 *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, armhf Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
