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

This is fixed in Xenial and Wily, doesnt seem critical enough to SRU
into vivid this late in its lifecycle.

** Changed in: python-tempest-lib (Ubuntu)

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:
  Fix Released

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

  This problem was already fixed in Debian and Wily.

  [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.
