[Python-modules-team] Bug#825199: python-cement: ships file in generic location: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/examples/__init__.py

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: python-cement
Version: 2.8.2-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: clone -1 -2
Control: reassign -2 python-starpy 1.0.1.0.git.20140806-1
Control: retitle -2 python-starpy: ships file in generic location: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/examples/__init__.py

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package ships a file in a very
generic location, causing conflicts with other packages doing the same mistake:

  Selecting previously unselected package python-cement.
  Preparing to unpack .../python-cement_2.8.2-1_all.deb ...
  Unpacking python-cement (2.8.2-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/python-cement_2.8.2-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/examples/__init__.py', which is also in package python-starpy 1.0.1.0.git.20140806-1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/python-cement_2.8.2-1_all.deb

The examples probably don't belong into /usr/lib/python2.7 at all.


Cheers,

Andreas
