Those are symlinks to the actual *-5.0 binaries, though that symlinking
is done by the upstream build. What do you recommend? If nothing else
does this then I guess we can remove the symlinks from upstream libgda.

Conflicts just makes it impossible to use them though they are meant to
be usable in parallel. Using an alternatives system sounds like it might
need tedious manual intervention for everyone installing the package. I
would like to just do what you say is best.

Fixed in libgda5_5.0.2-0ubuntu1openismus3

However, I don't know which packages should have these locale files:

E:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libgda-5.0-doc_5.0.2-0ubuntu1openismus3_all.deb:
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/locale/hu/LC_MESSAGES/libgda-5.0.mo',
which is also in package libgda-5.0-common 5.0.2-0ubuntu1openismus3

I think it should definitely use --without-ui, as it does now, unless
you want to do the work to split the libgda-ui out into separate
packages. The libgda-ui API should be packaged separately, because it
has UI (GTK+, goocanvas, X) dependencies and is an entirely different
kind of API, providing GTK+ widgets. I strongly object to it even being
in the same upstream tarball. Packaging libgda-ui for debian/Ubuntu is a
separate issue, though I don't personally need it.
