Package: vim-gtk
Version: 1:6.3-031+1
Severity: grave
...
Preparing to replace vim-gtk 1:6.3-025+1 (using .../vim-gtk_1%3a6.3-031+1_powerpc.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement vim-gtk ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/vim-gtk_1%3a6.3-031+1_powerpc.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/vim', which is also in package vim
It should *NOT* overwrite /usr/bin/vim but install to say /usr/bin/vim-gtk and let the user
manually add diversions/ update-alternatives as users might want to use a plain fast vim
for normal shell usage and gvim on the desktop.
So please no symlink /usr/bin/gvim -> /usr/bin/vim but make use of /etc/alternatives
