[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#839921: zfs-linux: Please add Conflicts to support easier migration

[Martijn Grendelman]

Package: src:zfs-linux
Version: 0.6.5.8-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When trying to install these packages on a system that has ZFS on Linux
installed from packages supplied by the ZoL project, installation fails
due to existing files that need to be overwritten.

Would it be possible to add Conflicts / Replaces for 'libzfs2',
'libnvpair1', 'libuutil1' and 'libzpool2' to the corresponding -linux
packages from src:zfs-linux?

I know these packages are not in Debian as such, but it seems like a
common path now that ZoL does not provide debs anymore.

Best regards,
Martijn.
