Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.0a+stable-9
Severity: important
I was doing an apt-get update which included an upgrade of packages ntp,
ntp-simple and ntpdate. During the unpacking on ntp, I got this:
Desempaquetando el reemplazo de ntp ...
dpkg: error al procesar /var/cache/apt/archives/ntp_1%3a4.2.2+dfsg.2-2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
intentando sobreescribir `/usr/sbin/ntpd', que está también en el paquete ntp-simple
dpkg-deb: el subproceso paste fue terminado por la señal (Tubería rota)
Rough reverse translation is:
Unpacking the replacement of ntp ...
dpkg: error while processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ntp_1%3a4.2.2+dfsg.2-2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/sbin/ntpd', which is also in package ntp-simple
dpkg-deb: the paste subprocess was ended with signal (Broken pipe)
Following that, package ntp-simple was upgraded to 1:4.2.2.+dfsg.2-1.
After the error, I restarted (apt-get -f install) and it successfully
installed the package ntp and continued configuring the rest of
packages. So this sounds to me like a trivial packaging bug in the
transitional package.
