[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#708983: libsnmp-base: file conflict with libsnmp15

[brian m. carlson]

Package: libsnmp-base
Version: 5.7.2~dfsg-4
Severity: serious

I get the following error on an attempt to upgrade:

  (Reading database ... 377035 files and directories currently installed.)
  Preparing to replace libsnmp-base 5.7.2~dfsg-4 (using .../libsnmp-base_5.7.2~dfsg-5_all.deb) ...
  Unpacking replacement libsnmp-base ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libsnmp-base_5.7.2~dfsg-5_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/net-snmp-config', which is also in package libsnmp15 5.4.3~dfsg-3
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

Probably an appropriate dependency is necessary to ensure that this
upgrade goes smoothly.  Please note that currently the latest libsnmp15
available to me is 5.4.3~dfsg-3; even if this is fixed by a newer
libsnmp15, you cannot rely on the two being upgraded together unless an
appropriate dependency (including Breaks or Conflicts) is in place.
