[Bug 1461573] Re: [SRU] trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/skip-tracker', which is also in package python-tempest-lib

[Sebastien Bacher]

Thanks, the package is in sync with Debian, could the work be send to
them? Also the current version is https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/python-tempest-lib/0.7.0-1 so the changes need to be rebased.
Unsubscribing sponsors, can you subscribe them back if you rebase the
work on the current version (ideally get the work in Debian so we can
sync directly)

  [SRU] trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/skip-tracker', which is also in

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  When trying to install python-tempest-lib and python3-tempest-lib in Vivid, I
  got the following error

  Unpacking python3-tempest-lib (0.4.0-0ubuntu1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-tempest-lib_0.4.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/skip-tracker', which is also in package python-tempest-lib 0.4.0-0ubuntu1

  I would expect to be able to install both packages and be able to run python
  scripts using version 2 or 3 of the interpreter.

  The patch renames /usr/bin/skip-tracker generated with '#!/usr/bin/python3.4'
  shebang to /usr/bin/python3-skip-tracker

  [Test Case]

  To reproduce just run:

  $ sudo apt-get update
  $ sudo apt-get install python-tempest-lib python3-tempest-lib

  Expected result: both packages get installed

  Actual result:
  Unpacking python3-tempest-lib (0.4.0-0ubuntu1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-tempest-lib_0.4.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/skip-tracker', which is also in package python-tempest-lib 0.4.0-0ubuntu1

  [Regression Potential]

  None expected. skip-tracker is registered with update-alternatives, so
  no changes will be done from a user's point of view.

  [Other Info]

  None.
