Bug#1100379: libopentelemetry-proto-dev and opentelemetry-cpp-dev fail to coinstall

[Helmut Grohne]

Package: libopentelemetry-proto-dev,opentelemetry-cpp-dev
Severity: serious
Tags: trixie sid
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: fileconflict

The packages libopentelemetry-proto-dev and opentelemetry-cpp-dev cannot
be practically coinstalled in trixie.

    mmdebstrap --verbose --variant=apt '' /dev/null 'deb http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie main'  --include=libopentelemetry-proto-dev,opentelemetry-cpp-dev

Attempting to do it fails.

    Preparing to unpack .../42-opentelemetry-cpp-dev_1.19.0-1+b1_amd64.deb ...
    Unpacking opentelemetry-cpp-dev:amd64 (1.19.0-1+b1) ...

     trying to overwrite '/usr/include/opentelemetry/proto/collector/logs/v1/logs_service.grpc.pb.h', which is also in package libopentelemetry-proto-dev (1.5.0-1)
    Errors were encountered while processing:

    E: Sub-process env returned an error code (1)

These packages look very similar. Do we really need both or should one
of them be removed in favour of the other?
