Bug#1098419: x{m, }abacus, x{m, }puzzles: trying to overwrite '/usr/games/play.sh'

[Chris Hofstaedtler]

Package: xabacus,xmabacus,xpuzzles,xmpuzzles
Severity: serious

Dear Maintainers,

your package sets all include the file /usr/games/play.sh, leading
to unpack errors from dpkg:

  Preparing to unpack .../xabacus_8.5.1-1+b2_arm64.deb ...
  Unpacking xabacus (8.5.1-1+b2) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/xabacus_8.5.1-1+b2_arm64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/games/play.sh', which is also in package xmpuzzles (8.8.7+ds-1)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/xabacus_8.5.1-1+b2_arm64.deb
  Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

A use of Conflicts: would not seem appropriate to me in this case.
