In any case, it has been agreed that alacritty's .deb There appears to be no Debian package for alacritty. I've done testing against the one in Arch (which appears to have the only package for it - and that's what I base the terminal description on). -- Thomas E.

In any case, it has been agreed that alacritty's .deb needs to move its file out of the way. Once that has been accomplished, I will probably add a versioned Replaces on alacritty to ncurses-term so that other users do not stumble upon this issue. In the meantime, you can - add a diversion for the conflicting file so that ncurses-term and alacritty can peacefully coexist: # dpkg-divert --package ncurses-term --rename --add /usr/share/terminfo/a/alacritty - test the patch which I pushed to github[1] and comment on the issue you opened.

If there are differences between the version provided in that package and ncurses, that's possibly of interest. For updates to ncurses, see https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html#dbupdate (by the way, don't use "official" in this manner - it detracts from the report). -- Thomas E.

Package: ncurses-term Version: 6.1+20190713-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, The latest version of this package bundles a terminfo file for the alacritty terminal emulator (/usr/share/terminfo/a/alacritty). This terminfo file is also provided by the official alacritty repo, when built and installed with cargo-deb: $ cargo deb --install --manifest-path alacritty/Cargo.toml ... Preparing to unpack .../alacritty_0.3.3_amd64.deb ... Unpacking alacritty (0.3.3) ... dpkg: error processing archive /home/rlue/tmp/alacritty/target/debian/alacritty_0.3.3_amd64.deb (--install): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/terminfo/a/alacritty', which is also in package ncurses-term 6.1+20190713-1 Processing triggers for mime-support (3.62) ... Errors were encountered while processing: /home/rlue/tmp/alacritty/target/debian/alacritty_0.3.3_amd64.deb cargo-deb: installation failed, because dpkg -i returned error I am not sure whether this constitutes an issue in the official ncurses-term debian package or in alacritty’s cargo-deb packaging configuration, but I am assuming it is the former. In any case, I have filed an issue on alacritty’s GitHub tracker for cross-referencing purposes: https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/2685 Thanks for your time and consideration. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages ncurses-term depends on: ii ncurses-base 6.1+20190713-1 ncurses-term recommends no packages. ncurses-term suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
