Bug#1031231: tries to overwrite /etc/cron.yearly/.placeholder from systemd-cron

[Alexandre Detiste]

Hi,

I was not explicit enough.

It's the "cron-daemon-common" binary package that needs this
Conflicts: / Breaks,
not the "cron" binary package

Hi,

I uploaded systemd-cron_1.15.19-5 , without the file.

I'm not sure if the handover of this non-file
is done correctly, you can NMU if you know better.

Bug#1031231: tries to overwrite /etc/cron.yearly/.placeholder from systemd-cron

[Felix Zielcke]

Package: cron-daemon-common
Version: 3.0pl1-159
Severity: serious

Hi,

cron-daemon-common can't be upgraded if systemd-cron is also installed:

Preparing to unpack .../cron-daemon-common_3.0pl1-159_all.deb ...
Unpacking cron-daemon-common (3.0pl1-159) over (3.0pl1-156) ...
dpkg: error processing archive 
/var/cache/apt/archives/cron-daemon-common_3.0pl1-159_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/etc/cron.yearly/.placeholder', which is also in package 
systemd-cron 1.15.19-4
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/cron-daemon-common_3.0pl1-159_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


AFAICS this hasn't been fixed in the already uploaded but not yet avaible 
3.0pl1-160
