Bug#967078: scilab, scilab-cli: both ship /usr/share/applications/scilab-cli.desktop

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: scilab,scilab-cli
Version: 6.1.0+dfsg1-5
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

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 scilab.
  Preparing to unpack .../238-scilab_6.1.0+dfsg1-5_all.deb ...
  Unpacking scilab (6.1.0+dfsg1-5) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-yQvaJu/238-scilab_6.1.0+dfsg1-5_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/applications/scilab-cli.desktop', which is also in package scilab-cli 6.1.0+dfsg1-5
  dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-yQvaJu/238-scilab_6.1.0+dfsg1-5_all.deb


cheers,

Andreas
