[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#538933: hdf4-tools: duplicates netcdf-bin's contents

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Package: hdf4-tools
Version: 4.2r4-3
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 6.6(4)

| Unpacking replacement hdf4-tools ...
| dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/hdf4-tools_4.2r4-3_amd64.deb (--unpack):
|  trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/ncgen', which is also in package netcdf-bin
| dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

A closer look reveals three more conflicts: /usr/bin/ncdump and both
programs' man pages, thereby clashing with all of netcdf-bin's
contents outside /usr/share/doc.  Could you please sort this out one
way or another?

Thanks!
