[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] Bug#802096: ricochet, ricochet-im: ricochet, ricochet-im: Fail to install if installed on the same system

[Axel Beckert]

Package: ricochet,ricochet-im
Severity: serious
Version: ricochet/0.4+nmu1
Version: ricochet-im/1.1.1-1

Hi,

as in the ITP for ricochet-im also was noticed, there is already a
package in Debian also named ricochet which is why ricochet-im got the
-im suffix.

They're unfortunately not co-installable:

Unpacking ricochet-im (1.1.1-1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/ricochet-im_1.1.1-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/applications/ricochet.desktop', which is also in package ricochet 0.4+nmu1
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

/usr/bin/ricochet of ricochet-im is fine though, as ricochet has its
primary binary in /usr/games/ricochet. A rename shouldn't hurt here
either as this still may lead to confusion.

I suggest that ricochet-im changes the file name from
/usr/share/applications/ricochet.desktop to
/usr/share/applications/ricochet-im.desktop.
