[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Bug#442237: file conflicts between packages

[Michael Ablassmeier]

Package: abinit, mp
Severity: serious
Justification: policy violation

hi,

both abinit an mp ship `/usr/bin/newsp', but do neither conflict, nor add a
diversion, thus fail to be installed in the same environment:

 > Unpacking abinit (from .../abinit_5.3.4.dfsg-1_amd64.deb) ...
 > dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/abinit_5.3.4.dfsg-1_amd64.deb (--                                                                                      unpack):
 >  trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/newsp', which is also in package mp

 > Errors were encountered while processing:
