Public bug reported:
The ppa package does conflict with regular package installed (redshift &
redshift-gtk). The conflict happens when redshift and redshift-gtk are
installed before the ppa package is installed. The package redshift-gtk
provides '/usr/bin/gtk-redshift' and then conflicts with redshift from
ppa as they both try to install this file.
I suggest using "Conflicts: redshift-gtk" and "Replaces: redshift-gtk"
to avoid problem.
