Package: libfontforge1
Version: 0.0.20120101+git-3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Preparing to replace libfontforge1 0.0.20120101+git-2 (using .../libfontforge1_0.0.20120101+git-4_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libfontforge1 ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libfontforge1_0.0.20120101+git-4_amd64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libgdraw.so.4.0.10', which is also in package libgdraw4 0.0.20120101+git-4
configured to not write apport reports
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libfontforge1_0.0.20120101+git-4_amd64.deb
It turns out that since 0.0.20120101+git-3 all .so files are installed in
libfontforge1 including libgdraw4 ones:
debian/rules:
override_dh_install:
$(MAKE) install prefix=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp/usr libdir=$(CURDIR)/debian/libfontforge1/usr/lib
I do not know how libgdraw4 finds its own library so file (as it should not be in debian/tmp
but only in debian/libfontforge1/ ) , but it turns out that it also has it.
As fontforge depends on libgdraw4 and libfontforge1 this is unfixable on the user end side
thus the high severity .
I believe libgdraw4 was intended to become a transitional empty package. Only a guess though.
Best regards
Alban
