Package: gnucash Version: 2.0.1-2 Severity: normal May warrant severity critical, but it's unclear what package is responsible. gnucash may be able to work around it with appropriate dependencies. And maybe my system is unusual.
This report includes a work-around at the bottom. PROBLEM I track testing, and recently did a dist-upgrade that included gnucash. The result was Unpacking libffi4-dev (from .../libffi4-dev_4.1.1-13_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libffi4-dev_4.1.1-13_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/include/ffi.h', which is also in package libffi This caused the install to stop at the unpacking stage, leaving me, among other things, without access to the internet (maybe just because bind was stopped). The curious thing is that libffi is not a package recognized by the bug-tracking system. libffi* is part of gcc (at least as of gcc-4.2). It was very difficult to proceed from this point: I could neither remove nor install packages to go forward. Here are some of the attempts: ------------------begin log ----------------------------------------- wheat:/usr/local/rootlog# apt-get -q dist-upgrade Reading package lists...

This chain ended at gnucash: # apt-get -q remove libffi libgwrap-runtime0-dev g-wrap gnucash At this point the rest of the setup configured. # apt-get install gnucash then brought in the necessary packages, this time without conflicts. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (990, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27advncdfs Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages gnucash depends on: ii g-wrap 1.9.6-3.1 scripting interface generator for ii gnucash-common 2.0.1-2 A personal finance tracking progra ii guile-1.6-libs 1.6.8-4 Main Guile libraries ii guile-1.6-slib 1.6.8-4 Guile SLIB support ii guile-g-wrap 1.9.6-3.1 scripting interface generator for ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.12.1-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-6 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libavahi-client3 0.6.13-2 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.13-2 Avahi common library ii libavahi-glib1 0.6.13-2 Avahi glib integration library ii libbonobo2-0 2.14.0-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.14.0-4 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.2.4-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcrypt-ssleay-perl 0.51-5 Support for https protocol in LWP ii libdate-manip-perl 5.44-3 a perl library for manipulating da ii libdbus-1-2 0.62-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libesd0 0.2.36-3 Enlightened Sound Daemon - Shared ii libffi4 4.1.1-13 Foreign Function Interface library ii libfinance-quote-perl 1.11-0.1 Perl module for retrieving stock q ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-7 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.2.1-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgconf2-4 2.14.0-4 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgcrypt11 1.2.2-3 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.0-2 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.10.3-3 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 0.4.9-1 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-0 2.14.1-3 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.14.0-2 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeprint2.2-0 2.12.1-6 The GNOME 2.2 print architecture - ii libgnomeprintui2.2-0 2.12.1-4 GNOME 2.2 print architecture User ii libgnomeui-0 2.14.1-2 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.14.2-1 GNOME virtual file-system (runtime ii libgnutls13 1.4.3-2 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libgoffice-1-2 0.2.1-4 Document centric objects library - ii libgpg-error0 1.2-1 library for common error values an ii libgsf-1-114 1.14.1-2 Structured File Library - runtime ii libgsf-gnome-1-114 1.14.1-2 Structured File Library - runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.20-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgtkhtml3.8-15 3.10.3-1 HTML rendering/editing library - r ii libguile-ltdl-1 1.6.8-4 Guile's patched version of libtool ii libgwrap-runtime0 1.9.6-3.1 scripting interface generator for ii libice6 1:1.0.0-3 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libltdl3 1.5.22-4 A system independent dlopen wrappe ii libofx2c2a 1:0.8.0-12 library to support Open Financial ii liborbit2 1:2.14.0-2 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.12.3-1+b1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-5.2 PNG library - runtime ii libpopt0 1.10-2 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libqthreads-12 1.6.8-4 QuickThreads library for Guile ii libsm6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 Session Management library ii libtasn1-3 0.3.5-2 Manage ASN.1 structures (runtime) ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-8 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1.1.7-4 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:3.0.1.2-4 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4.1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.26.dfsg-3 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.1.0.2-4 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.1-3 X Rendering Extension client libra ii psfontmgr 0.11.10 PostScript font manager -- part of ii slib 3a3-2 Portable Scheme library ii x-ttcidfont-conf 25 Configure TrueType and CID fonts f ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime gnucash recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
