[Bug 1291058] Re: package zoneminder 1.25.0-1 [modified: usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Memory.pm] failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package zoneminder is already installed and configured

The initial error is actually with the zoneminder package.

The already installed and configured bug (from dpkg) is well known and
another duplicate is unnecessary, so I'm moving this to the zoneminder
package.

** Package changed: dpkg (Ubuntu) => zoneminder (Ubuntu)
