Bug#789346: mate-sensors-applet: Cannot install mate-sensors-applet-common because a .mo file is also present in mate-sensors-applet

Sat Jun 20 03:19:48 UTC 2015

Package: mate-sensors-applet
Version: 1.10.1+dfsg1-1~exp1
Justification: renders package unusable
Severity: grave

Dear Maintainer,
I was trying to install mate-sensors applet which in turn pulled
mate-sensors-applet-common. While installing it though,
mate-sensors-applet-common complains that a .mo file is also present
in mate-sensors-applet.

See :-

[$] sudo aptitude install mate-sensors-applet=1.10.1+dfsg1-1~exp1
libmate-sensors-applet-plugin0=1.10.1+dfsg1-1~exp1
mate-sensors-applet-common -y

B   mate-sensors-applet Depends mate-sensors-applet-common (=
1.10.1+dfsg1-1~exp1)

While I can fix the installation of mate-sensors-applet-common by
removing mate-sensors-applet or go back to the old version where
mate-sensors-applet-common is not there, in the current scenario there
doesn't seem to be much that can be done except removing the said .mo
file from either of the packages so that installation of both the
packages happen without an issue.
