Bug#343981: libsane: Trying to overwrite file from other package

[Patricio Rojo]

Package: libsane
Version: 1.0.16-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When trying to upgrade to the latest version I got

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libsane_1.0.17-1_i386.deb 
(--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/etc/hotplug', which is also in package kcontrol
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

   Thanks!

Is /etc/hotplug a directory ?

Hi,

  Nop, there is /etc/hotplug.d/ directory but /etc/hotplug is actually
an empty file! Maybe this bug should be forwarded to kcontrol so that
they remove it from their package?

OK, please :
 - remove the file
 - apt-get install --reinstall kcontrol

If an empty file reappears, I'll reassign to kcontrol.

All solved... upon reinstallation of kcontrol, /etc/hotplug became a
directory, and now there is no conflict with libsane. Probably it was
left there from some old and faulty upgrade or something...

 Thanks!

Good. I have a machine here with KDE installed, and never encountered
this problem, so this must have been some faulty script at some point
in time :)
