Dear Maintainers,

I was taking a look to the debian package and it uses update-
alternatives to handle skip-tracker and subunit-trace[0], should I
pursue a patch to follow that same behavior? or do you pretend to re-
sync the package with Debian during this cycle (wily)?

Best,

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

Status in python-tempest-lib package in Ubuntu:
  New

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] 

  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

  [Other Info]

  None.
