[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#663641: libsmbclient-raw0: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/libsmbregistry.so', which is also in package python-samba 4.0.0~alpha17.dfsg2-1

[Axel Beckert]

Package: libsmbclient-raw0,python-samba
Version: libsmbclient-raw0/4.0.0~alpha18.dfsg1-1
Version: python-sambe/4.0.0~alpha17.dfsg2-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

during the recent upgrade of some packages built from samba4's source,
the following file conflict happened:

Preparing to replace libsmbclient-raw0 4.0.0~alpha17.dfsg2-1 (using .../libsmbclient-raw0_4.0.0~alpha18.dfsg1-1_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libsmbclient-raw0 ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libsmbclient-raw0_4.0.0~alpha18.dfsg1-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/libsmbregistry.so', which is also in package python-samba 4.0.0~alpha17.dfsg2-1
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

I suspect a missing "Replaces" to be the cause. Maybe related to the
LP #889869 fix.

A second dist-upgrade run worked fine, because python-samba has been
upgraded later in the first dist-upgrade where libsmbclient-raw0 failed.
