[u-a-dev] [Bug 86694] edgy->feisty dist-upgrade stops at libbrlapi1 ("trying to overwrite /lib/brltty/libbrlttybba.so")

[Steve Sinclair]

Public bug reported:

I have been running Dapper for a long while, and finally decided to
upgrade to Feisty.  On forum advice, I first used update-manager to
upgrade to Edgy, which went very smoothly.  Once booted into Edgy, I did
"sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".

The process stopped at the following error:

Preparing to replace libbrlapi1 3.7.2-3.1ubuntu3 (using .../libbrlapi1_3.7.2-7ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libbrlapi1 ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libbrlapi1_3.7.2-7ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/lib/brltty/libbrlttybba.so', which is also in package brltty
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libbrlapi1_3.7.2-7ubuntu1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

** Affects: brltty (Ubuntu)
