I had installed php-pear 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny9 and php-net-smtp 1.3.1-1.
These are the current versions in lenny.

Then I upgrade lenny to squeeze, and apt-get wants to upgrade php-net-smtp
to version 1.4.2-1. I don't know why apt-get doesn't upgrade php-pear too,
this would avoid the problem.

And during the upgrade I got:

Preparando para reemplazar php-net-smtp 1.3.1-1 (usando .../php-net-smtp_1.4.2-1_all.deb) ...
Desempaquetando el reemplazo de php-net-smtp ...
dpkg: error al procesar /var/cache/apt/archives/php-net-smtp_1.4.2-1_all.deb (--unpack):
 intentando sobreescribir `/usr/share/php/doc', que está también en el paquete php-pear

I've been making some tests and it is a little messy all this.

I have reproduced it this way:

- I start with a newly installed squeeze inside QEMU
- I install php5-common and php5-cli, without recommends, from squeeze.
  This is to avoid dependency problems later.
- I install with dpkg php-pear version 5.2.6.dfsg1-1lenny9 (the one from lenny)
- I install with dpkg php-net-smtp 1.3.1-1 (fom lenny). Tell dpkg to ignore the
  dependency on php-net-socket.

Now you have the system more or less as I had it before the upgrade.

Now try to upgrade ONLY php-net-smtp:

# aptitude install php-net-smtp

and you get the error.

If you upgrade php-pear before (or at the same time as) php-net-smtp you
won't get the error. Don't know why.

Cheers,
Gonzalo.
