Bug#889655: libbeansbinding-java-doc: extraneous doc-base file

[Laurent Bonnaud]

Package: libbeansbinding-java-doc
Version: 1.2.1-3
Severity: normal


Dear Maintainer,

after each package installation, I see the following error message:

Processing 1 removed doc-base file, 4 added doc-base files...
Error while merging /usr/share/doc-base/libbeansbinding-java-doc with /usr/share/doc-base/libbeansbinding-java-doc-javadoc: format html already defined.

This comes from the fact that /usr/share/doc-base/libbeansbinding-java-doc and /usr/share/doc-base/libbeansbinding-java-doc-javadoc contain almost the same content and point to the same HTML files.  One of those 2 files should probably be removed.
