[Debian-pan-maintainers] Bug#1063901: node-shapefile: /usr/bin/dbfcat and usr/bin/shpcat are already shipped by shapelib

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: node-shapefile
Version: 0.3.1+~cs14.23.94-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: affects -1 + src:shapelib

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install
because it tries to overwrite other packages files.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package node-shapefile.
  Preparing to unpack .../21-node-shapefile_0.3.1+~cs14.23.94-1_all.deb ...
  Unpacking node-shapefile (0.3.1+~cs14.23.94-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-ARoRiL/21-node-shapefile_0.3.1+~cs14.23.94-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/dbfcat', which is also in package shapelib 1.6.0-1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-ARoRiL/21-node-shapefile_0.3.1+~cs14.23.94-1_all.deb

These files are in conflict:
  /usr/bin/dbfcat
  /usr/bin/shpcat

I have no idea whether the two packages provide similar functionality
or are completely unrelated and only picked the same names by chance.


cheers,

Andreas
