[Bug 1017289] Re: package manpages 3.35-0.1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/getent.1.gz', which is also in package libc-bin 2.15-0ubuntu15

Boy, Launchpad and apport don't seem to be catching these dupes at all.
Excuse me if I'm too far off-topic.  I see bug 29713 (that's an oldie!
but work is in progress :), which says searches fail when the text has
punctuation in certain positions.  This subject has the single quotes
around the file name.  I don't know if that bug applies, and if 'search'
there includes the automated matching as well as interactive searches.
If that's true, maybe that's why several reporters have not been
directed to this bug report.  (Some experienced reporters, too, it
appears.)

I had to see this report and those others just by looking at the list of
bugs for the package:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/manpages/+bugs?orderby=-id&start=0

But I'll only be eyeballing that page for so long tonight.  :)
