Hi,

Thanks for the notification. It seems this bug is a persistent one and I don't really get why it's
resurfacing; I'm probably missing something so CC'ing the debian-science list
for help. Ucto 0.9.5 no longer has the
mentioned file /etc/ucto/es.abr, is was part of ucto until 0.8.0-1 and then
moved to a separate uctodata package. To prevent this issue, ucto 0.9.5 (package libucto2 actually),
states:

    Replaces: ucto (<< 0.5.5-1)
    Breaks: ucto (<< 0.5.5-1)

Uctodata also states:

    Replaces: ucto (<< 0.9.2-1)
    Breaks: ucto (<< 0.9.2-1

But as this resurfaced, it's apparently not enough, What am I missing here?

Regards,
