[Bug 1683042] Re: package smitools (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/smilint', which is also in package libsmi2ldbl 0.4.8+dfsg2-4build1

[James Page]

The 4build1 versioning on libsmi2ldbl is not compatible with the
Conflicts/Replaces versioning on smitools; I'd recommend doing:

  sudo apt install libsmi2ldbl

to upgrade to the latest libsmi2ldbl first and then smitools should
install.

0.4.8+dfsg2-4build1 was in 12.04; was this an upgrade from 12.04 or a
fresh install?
