[Debichem-devel] Bug#973631: python3-mdtraj: /usr/bin/mdconvert is already owned by unrelated isync package

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: python3-mdtraj
Version: 1.9.4+git20201015.068f29a-4
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 python3-mdtraj.
  Preparing to unpack .../36-python3-mdtraj_1.9.4+git20201015.068f29a-4_amd64.deb ...

   trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/mdconvert', which is also in package isync 1.3.0-2
  dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-qEpbdG/36-python3-mdtraj_1.9.4+git20201015.068f29a-4_amd64.deb


The isync package already ships these files since 2009:

usr/bin/mdconvert
usr/share/man/man1/mdconvert.1.gz


cheers,

Andreas
