Package: bcrelay
Version: 1.2.3-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: Policy 7.5.1
bcrelay was split out from pptpd. pptpd depends on bcrelay to force it
to be installed on pptpd upgrades.
However, when the user has pptpd 1.2.1-5 (or older) installed, and the
new pptpd 1.2.3-1 and bcrelay 1.2.3-1 are to be installed, the following
happens:
| Selecting previously deselected package bcrelay.
| Unpacking bcrelay (from .../bcrelay_1.2.3-1_i386.deb) ...
| dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/bcrelay_1.2.3-1_i386.deb
(--unpack):
| trying to overwrite `/usr/sbin/bcrelay', which is also in package pptpd
| [...]
| Errors were encountered while processing:
| /var/cache/apt/archives/bcrelay_1.2.3-1_i386.deb
bcrelay should conflict with (and replace) old versions of pptpd.
Patch attached.

Description: Broadcast relay daemon
The bcrelay daemon relays broadcasts between two interfaces. It is shipped
with the pptpd package, but can be used for other purposes.
