[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#426823: file conflicts between packages

[Michael Ablassmeier]

Package: ksniffer, python-dogtail
Severity: serious
Usertags: qa-file-conflict
User: abi at debian.org
Justification: Policy violation, see section 7.2

hi,

both ksniffer and python-dogtail ship `/usr/bin/sniff' but do neither conflict
nor add a diversion, thus fail to be installed in the same environment:

 > Unpacking python-dogtail (from .../python-dogtail_0.6.1-3_all.deb) ...
 > dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/python-dogtail_0.6.1-3_all.deb (--unpack):
 >  trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/sniff', which is also in package ksniffer
 > dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
 > Errors were encountered while processing:
 >  /var/cache/apt/archives/python-dogtail_0.6.1-3_all.deb
 > E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

bye,
