(What follows is described already by Florian Hinzmann in Bug #21812) To reproduce this error, I have created two packages "foo" and "bar". [ See http://master.debian.org/~sanvila/foobar for details ]. Both packages contain an empty directory called /usr/doc/foobar. By doing this: dpkg -i foo_1_all.deb rmdir /usr/doc/foobar dpkg -i bar_1_all.deb the following is obtained: [...] dpkg: error processing bar_1_all.deb (--install): trying to overwrite `/usr/doc/foobar', which is also in package foo Some people rm -rf /usr/doc to save space, and I think this should not make dpkg to be confused. Well, the bug seems to be in dpkg/archives.c, around line 350, but I'm not sure. Has somebody a fix for this? Ian?
