Bug#355524: asterisk: conflicts between asterisk & asterisk-classic

[Richard Antony Burton]

Package: asterisk
Version: 1:1.2.4.dfsg-6
Severity: normal

After upgrading to the latest asterisk package I've noticed conflicts between
the asterisk & asterisk-classic packages. Cron has started complaining everyday
that asterisk log files are listed more than once for log rotation.

It appears that both a & a-c provide a logrotate conf file to rotate the same
log files.

I noticed in synaptic that the asterisk packages calls itself a "dummy package"
so I though it could perhaps be removed as it had now pulled in the a-c package,
but doing this deleted the asterisk userid and group.

I also noticed that both packages provide an init script, but I didn't look into
what they both did, I'm guessing these overlap too?

Richard.
