[DRE-maint] Bug#587913: libcompass-ruby: upgrade broken

[Jonas Smedegaard]

Package: libcompass-ruby
Severity: normal

With the risk of hi-jacking an unrelated bugreport, I suspect the issue
here is one of failure to *upgrade*, not install from scratch:

Gør klar til at erstatte libcompass-ruby 0.8.17debian-1 (med .../libcompass-ruby_0.10.2debian-1_all.deb)...
Udpakker erstatning libcompass-ruby...
dpkg: fejl under behandling af /var/cache/apt/archives/libcompass-ruby_0.10.2debian-1_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/compass.1.gz', which is also in package libcompass-ruby1.8 0.10.2debian-1


If the manpage move is not an accident, I believe you need to make the
new unversioned package conflict with (or break? I haven't taken time to
understand that new hint yet) the older versioned one.


Hope that helps.

Thanks for the upgrade, anyway!  I will now purge and install again from
scratch as workaround for this issue. :-)
