package kitchensync 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/apps/ksync/ksyncui.rc', which is also in package ksync

This happened here for kitchensync 3.5.7-1ubuntu3 => 3.5.7enterprise20070810-0ubuntu2.

It seems like it should replace/conflict with ksync - at least ksync is not installable anymore.

I've fixed it here by uninstalling ksync and then using "apt-get install -f".

There is an additional conflict with libqopensync0.
trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libqopensync.so.0.0.0', which is also in package libqopensync0

apt-get remove libqopensync0 && apt-get -f install fixed it.

Is this kind of error to be expected during the unstable time leading up to a release?

I solved this by uninstalling ksync, then upgrading again to install the kitchensync update.

I'm going to create a debdiff to conflict on said two packages.

Bart, I could not find libqopensync0 at http://packages.ubuntu.com/ (in any previous Ubuntu release).
Any idea where the package comes from?

Here's a debdiff, which Conflicts/Replaces ksync.
I've not added libqopensync0, because I could not find any trace in the official package lists about it.

I'm not sure about adding "Provides" either. I don't think it's appropriate to pollute the "virtual package namespace".

Probably from some custom repo that I used and forgot about, never mind.

Looks like this is already in - but this package isnt created anymore regardless.

Sarah,
There's no "Conflicts/Replaces: ksync" for the kitchensync package in kdepim-3.5.7enterprise20070926.
Also, what do you mean with "this package isn't created anymore"? kitchensync still gets created..

ah, was using the old branch.

(also unassigning myself)

Rediffed the debdiff for hardy.

Approved for gutsy-proposed. Please get it fixed in Hardy and upload to gutsy-proposed afterwards.

Accepted into gutsy-proposed, please test.

Test Case

Install kitchensync 3.5.7-1ubuntu3

the install install kitchensync 3.5.7enterprise20070810-0ubuntu2.

I'm not quite certain where to obtain the specific package versions contained in the test case:

rmadison -u ubuntu kitchensync
kitchensync | 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu6 | dapper | amd64, i386, powerpc
kitchensync | 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu1 | edgy | amd64, i386, powerpc
kitchensync | 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu6 | feisty | amd64, i386, powerpc
kitchensync | 4:3.5.7enterprise20070926-0ubuntu2 | gutsy/universe | amd64, i386, powerpc
kitchensync | 4:3.5.7enterprise20070926-0ubuntu2.1 | gutsy-proposed/universe | amd64, i386, powerpc
kitchensync | 4:3.5.7enterprise20080127-0ubuntu1 | hardy/universe | amd64, i386, powerpc

Try 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu6

I've installed kitchensync version 3.5.6-0ubuntu6 but it doesn't seem to create a /usr/share/apps/ksync/ksyncui.rc . Further investigation reveals that this file is created by the ksync package which isn't mentioned in the test case anywhere.

After installing ksync and kitchensync version 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu6 and then trying to install kitchensync version 4:3.5.7enterprise20070926-0ubuntu2 I was able to recreate the bug. After enabling proposed and installing 4:3.5.7enterprise20070926-0ubuntu2.1 I no longer experienced the bug.
