Bug#826701: gnuplot-data: Version 5.0.3+dfsg3-1 tries to overwrite a file which is also in package gnuplot-tex 4.6.6-3

Related to this: after installing the -data package with
--force-overwrite, the apt-get -f install complains about an
alternatives entry related to the -x11 package:

Setting up gnuplot-x11 (5.0.3+dfsg3-1) ...
update-alternatives: error: alternative link /usr/share/gnuplot/gnuplot.gih is already managed by gnuplot4

After removing the gnuplot4 link group with

update-alternatives --remove-all gnuplot4

I could finish the installation.

Cheers
Wolfgang
