Bug#418656: asterisk-config: Asterisk-config and asterisk 1:1.4.2~dfsg-4 both contain /etc/default/asterisk

[James Andrewartha]

Package: asterisk-config
Version: 1:1.4.2~dfsg-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

If I apt-get -t experimental install asterisk, I get the following error:

Unpacking asterisk-config (from .../asterisk-config_1%3a1.4.2~dfsg-4_all.deb) ...
Selecting previously deselected package asterisk.
Unpacking asterisk (from .../asterisk_1%3a1.4.2~dfsg-4_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/asterisk_1%3a1.4.2~dfsg-4_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/etc/default/asterisk', which is also in package asterisk-config

If I then purge asterisk, asterisk-config finishes installing, but a
later installation (from experimental) of asterisk then dies with

Unpacking asterisk (from .../asterisk_1%3a1.4.2~dfsg-4_amd64.deb) ...
Setting up asterisk (1.4.2~dfsg-4) ...

dpkg: error processing asterisk (--configure):

which seems to be http://bugs.debian.org/408708
