[Pkg-directfb-devel] Bug#519871: Libraries may not have files in /usr/share/ in multiarch

[Goswin Brederlow]

Package: libdirectfb-1.0-0
Version: 1.0.1-11
Severity: normal

Hi,

when installing the 32bit flavour of libdirectfb-1.0-0 via
ia32-apt-get the following error happens:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ia32-libdirectfb-1.0-0_1.0.1-11~13_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/share/directfb-1.0.1/cursor.dat', which is also in package libdirectfb-1.0-0

Library packages can not have shared files. They must be split out
into a -common package. Given the size (6.3k) of the shared file maybe
it could be moved to /usr/lib/directfb-1.0.1/cursor.dat though and not
be shared.
