Bug#532089: coreutils: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/arch.1.gz', which is also in package util-linux
Package: coreutils Version: 7.4-2 Severity: important [...] Unpacking replacement coreutils ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/coreutils_7.4-2_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/arch.1.gz', which is also in package util-linux dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/coreutils_7.4-2_amd64.deb [...] This happens when util-linux 2.12r-19 (the one from Etch) is present. When upgrading util-linux to 2.15.1~rc1-1 the problem doesn't seem to exist anymore (and AFAICS the same applies to 2.13.1.1-1 from Lenny). regards, -mika- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Skipping releases is not supported.
ACK. Though all it would need is a conflicts with older util-linux
versions in debian/control:
| Conflicts: util-linux ( 2.13.1.1-1)
PS: I'm not talking about upgrading a full system from Etch to
Lenny+{1,2,..} but a minimal chroot used as base.tar.gz for
bootstrapping within FAI. This used to work (even with libc) without
any problems and as the fix is small and simple it might be worth
adding it.
