Hi,

automatic installation tests of packages that share a file and at the
same time do not conflict by their package dependency relationships has
detected the following problem:

This is a serious bug as it makes installation fail. Possible
solutions are to have the two packages conflict, to rename the common
file in one of the two packages, or to remove the file from one
package and have this package depend on the other package. File
diversions or a Replace relation are another possibility.

Here is a list of files that are known to be shared by both packages
(according to the Contents file for sid/amd64, which may be
slightly out of sync):


  etc/pam.d/imap
  usr/sbin/imapd
  usr/share/man/man8/imapd.8.gz
  

Similar bugs happen also in connction with other packages, that is why I
suspect that this uw_imap's fault:

with cyrus-imapd-2.2:
---------------------
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/cyrus-imapd-2.2_2.2.13-17_amd64.d
eb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/etc/pam.d/imap', which is also in package uw-imapd 8:2007
e~dfsg-1

Common files are:
  etc/pam.d/imap
  usr/share/man/man8/imapd.8.gz

with cyrus-pop3d:
-----------------
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/cyrus-pop3d-2.2_2.2.13-17_amd64.d
eb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/etc/pam.d/pop', which is also in package ipopd 
8:2007e~dfsg-1

Common files are:
  etc/pam.d/pop


with kolab-cyrus-imapd:
-----------------------
dpkg: error processing 
/var/cache/apt/archives/kolab-cyrus-imapd_2.2.13-7_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man8/imapd.8.gz', which is also in package 
uw-imapd 8:2007e~dfsg-1
Common files are:
  usr/share/man/man8/imapd.8.gz

This and other similar errors are believed fixed for uw-imap since 8:2007e~dfsg-3.

It is believed to need similar fixes for the corresponding packages, independent from this fix - so the forked bugreports should IMO be treated independent to this bug closure.
