Package: spice-client-gtk,torchwood
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: fileconflict

The file /usr/bin/spicy is contained in the packages
 * spice-client-gtk/0.42-4 as present in forky|unstable
 * torchwood/0.9.0-4 as present in forky|unstable

These packages can be unpacked concurrently, because there is no
relevant Replaces or Conflicts relation.  Attempting to unpack these
packages concurrently results in an unpack error from dpkg, because none
of the packages installs a diversion for the affected file.

Please determine the appropriate metadata for the mentioned file and
reassign and/or clone the bug to the packages that require changes.
When doing so, please add the other package to the set of affected
packages using "Control: affects -1 + <packagename>" to avoid the filing
of duplicates.

Kind regards

Helmut Grohne
