[Bug 471490] [NEW] Cannot install maildrop after courier-base and vice versa

[Derrick]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: courier-base

When trying to apt-get install courier-base after already installing
maildrop, I get the following error:

update-alternatives: error: alternative link /usr/share/man/man5/maildir.5.gz is already managed by maildir.5.gz.
dpkg: error processing courier-base (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


If I install courier-base first, then try to install maildrop, I get the same error about /man5/maildir

I'm not sure, but it may be related to this debian bug:
