Package: ncurses-term
Version: 6.1+20190713-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
The latest version of this package bundles a terminfo file for the
alacritty terminal emulator (/usr/share/terminfo/a/alacritty).
This terminfo file is also provided by the official alacritty repo,
when built and installed with cargo-deb:
$ cargo deb --install --manifest-path alacritty/Cargo.toml
...
Preparing to unpack .../alacritty_0.3.3_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking alacritty (0.3.3) ...
dpkg: error processing archive
/home/rlue/tmp/alacritty/target/debian/alacritty_0.3.3_amd64.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/terminfo/a/alacritty', which is also in
package ncurses-term 6.1+20190713-1
Processing triggers for mime-support (3.62) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
/home/rlue/tmp/alacritty/target/debian/alacritty_0.3.3_amd64.deb
cargo-deb: installation failed, because dpkg -i returned error
I am not sure whether this constitutes an issue in the official
ncurses-term debian package or in alacritty’s cargo-deb packaging
configuration, but I am assuming it is the former. In any case, I have
filed an issue on alacritty’s GitHub tracker for cross-referencing
purposes:

Thanks for your time and consideration.
