** Description changed:

  [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
+  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
+  trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/skip-tracker', which is also in package python-tempest-lib 0.4.0-0ubuntu1
  
+ [Regression Potential]
  
- [Regression Potential] 
- 
- Users that only installed python3-tempest-lib and are using
- /usr/bin/skip-tracker expecting it's run with python3 will have to use
- /usr/bin/python3-skip-tracker instead. This is already the case for
- /usr/bin/subunit-trace
+ 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.
