[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: kodi-data,kodi-repository-kodi
Version: 2:17.3+dfsg1-3
Severity: serious

Hi,

automatic installation tests of packages that share a file and at the
same time do not conflict by their package dependency relationships has
detected the following problem:

  Selecting previously unselected package kodi-repository-kodi.
  Preparing to unpack .../kodi-repository-kodi_2%3a17.3+dfsg1-3_all.deb ...
  Unpacking kodi-repository-kodi (2:17.3+dfsg1-3) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/kodi-repository-kodi_2%3a17.3+dfsg1-3_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/kodi/addons/repository.xbmc.org/addon.xml', which is also in package kodi-data 2:17.3+dfsg1-3
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/kodi-repository-kodi_2%3a17.3+dfsg1-3_all.deb


Here is a list of files that are known to be shared by both packages
(according to the Contents file for sid/amd64, which may be
slightly out of sync):

  usr/share/kodi/addons/repository.xbmc.org/addon.xml
  usr/share/kodi/addons/repository.xbmc.org/icon.png


Cheers,

Andreas
