Hi all,
I've just created this bug for a discussion about how to handle the file
conflict between manpages and initscripts.
Both packages ship a manpage called tmpfs.5.
Some ideas on how to solve this are already included in this bug, but
I'd like to get some input from the initscripts maintainers.
As a temporary fix, I've removed the file tmpfs.5 from the package manpages.
I think there are a few options:
1. Rename the manpage in one of the packages
2. Remove the manpage from one of the packages
3. Move one of the manpages to another section
4. Use the Debian alternatives system
(don't know if this would work well)
5. Add Breaks/Conflicts to the packages
(does not seem to be a desirable solution)
Regards,
Tobias
