Bug#1111061: Cannot install totem-video-thumbnailer because it shares a manpage with totem-common (43.2-3)

[Bastian Venthur]

Package: totem-video-thumbnailer
Version: 43.2-5
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-Cc: venthur at debian.org

Hi,

trying to upgrade Gnome, the process is stuck as the totem-video-thumbnailer
(43.2.-5) cannot be installed as it shares a common file with totem-common
(43.2.-3) which is supposed to be removed in the same process.

Here's the relevant output from aptitude trying to perform the update of gnome:
