[Bug 1892448] Re: ceph 15.2.3-0ubuntu0.20.04.2 collides with ceph-deploy 2.0.1-0ubuntu1

[Pascal Ernster]

Hi, I'm not really following this bug report anymore, and I won't test
this, but thanks for (most likely) fixing the issue.

On a more general note, a question to Canonical: Why does a commercial
distro even bother to have things like "-proposed" repos or a bug
tracker if it takes 9-10 months to fix an issue *this* trivial in a
supposedly supported package, in the most current supposedly supported
distro release? And why should people even bother to write bug reports
at all? Other people manage to conceive and give birth to a child during
the timespan it takes Canonical to simply delete a file.

Title:
  ceph 15.2.3-0ubuntu0.20.04.2 collides with ceph-deploy 2.0.1-0ubuntu1

Status in ceph package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ceph source package in Focal:
  In Progress
Status in ceph source package in Groovy:
  In Progress
Status in ceph source package in Hirsute:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Not possible to install ceph and ceph-deploy binary packages due to conflicting manpage.

  [Test Case]
  sudo apt install ceph-base ceph-deploy
  [error as in original bug report]

  [Regression Discussion]
  The fix simply drops the ceph-deploy manpage from the ceph-base binary package.

  [Original Bug Report]
  On an Ubuntu 20.04 installation with the focal-proposed repos enabled and both the ceph/ceph-base/ceph-* packages (which are in main) and the ceph-deploy package (which is in universe) installed, the upgrade from ceph 15.2.3-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 to ceph 15.2.3-0ubuntu0.20.04.2 breaks with the following error message:

  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/ceph-base_15.2.3-0ubuntu0.20.04.2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man8/ceph-deploy.8.gz', which is also in package ceph-deploy 2.0.1-0ubuntu1

  I wasn't even able to solve this by trying to uninstall/purge ceph-
  deploy using apt-get or aptitude - instead, I had to resort to

  dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq ceph-deploy

  I think this is a bug in ceph 15.2.3-0ubuntu0.20.04.2, more
  specifically in the packaging of ceph-base 15.2.3-0ubuntu0.20.04.2,
  which probably shouldn't contain the man page for ceph-deploy since it
  doesn't seem to contain any other ceph-deploy files either.
