Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install
because it tries to overwrite other packages files.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package node-shapefile.
  Preparing to unpack .../21-node-shapefile_0.3.1+~cs14.23.94-1_all.deb ...
  Unpacking node-shapefile (0.3.1+~cs14.23.94-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive 
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-ARoRiL/21-node-shapefile_0.3.1+~cs14.23.94-1_all.deb 
(--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/dbfcat', which is also in package shapelib 
1.6.0-1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-ARoRiL/21-node-shapefile_0.3.1+~cs14.23.94-1_all.deb

These files are in conflict:
  /usr/bin/dbfcat
  /usr/bin/shpcat

I have no idea whether the two packages provide similar functionality
or are completely unrelated and only picked the same names by chance.


cheers,

Andreas
