Package: geoip-database Version: 1.4.5.dfsg-2 Severity: important Justification: file conflict with another package
Attempting to install geoip-database fails due to a file conflict with libgeoip1: Reading package fields... Done Reading package status... Done Parsing Found/Fixed information... Done (Reading database ... 371932 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking geoip-database (from .../geoip-database_1.4.5.dfsg-2_all.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/geoip-database_1.4.5.dfsg-2_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat', which is also in package libgeoip1 dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/geoip-database_1.4.5.dfsg-2_all.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install. Trying to recover: Press return to continue. If this package needs to include /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat then perhaps the control information should mark geoip-database as conflicting with libgeoip1, or replacing it rather than recommending it. geoip-bin still works with libgeoip1, I just wanted to catch this bug while this package was still in experimental.
