Bug#446725: file conflicts between packages

[Bernd Zeimetz]

Hi Sam,

my suggestions to solve this problem:

* I rename rcalc to recalc and mention the change in README.Debian and
patch all manpages to reflect the new name. rcals is one of those tools
which is used everywhere within radiance and therefore a name change
would also mean to rewrite a lot of definitions and rendering scripts.

* you rename rcalc's binary to grcalc. Probably the better solution
towards the users of radiance, not sure what your users think about
that, though (if you prefer this way to solve the problem, I can prepare
  a patch for you, or organize a NMU - I guess you have more important
things to do for Debian).


What's your opinion?

Cheers,

Bernd

Bug#446725: file conflicts between packages

[Michael Ablassmeier]

Package: radiance,rcalc
Severity: serious
Justification: policy violation

hi,

both radiance and rcalc ship `/usr/bin/rcalc', but do neither conflict, nor
add a diversion, thus fail to be installed in the same environment:

 > Unpacking rcalc (from .../rcalc_0.5.0-1.1_amd64.deb) ...
 > dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/rcalc_0.5.0-1.1_amd64.deb 
 > (--unpack):
 >  trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/rcalc', which is also in package radiance
 > dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
 > Errors were encountered while processing:
 >  /var/cache/apt/archives/rcalc_0.5.0-1.1_amd64.deb
 > E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

bye,
- michael
