[Hostname-devel] Bug#546753: nis and hostname: error when trying to install together

[Ralf Treinen]

This bug occurs again with hostname/2.99 and nis/3.17-29 :

Unpacking nis (from .../archives/nis_3.17-29_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/nis_3.17-29_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/bin/nisdomainname', which is also in package hostname 0:2.99
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/nis_3.17-29_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

According to the Contents file, the following files are shared by both
packages:

  bin/nisdomainname
  bin/ypdomainname
