Bug Description

Binary package hint: manpages

The manpages-dev in gutsy and libnuma-dev packages both contain the file 'usr/share/man/man2/get_mempolicy.2.gz'

This can cause upgrade errors from feisty. I am in the process of checking to see if the man pages are the same, or if there should be a diversion by one of the packages.

more details - the libnuma-dev package version is libnuma-dev_0.9-1_amd64 from dapper/universe - if we want to support upgrades from dapper to gutsy, this will break. (So will gutsy be an LTS release?)

This is fine for the gutsy versions of both packages, I think the right solution is to have the gutsy manpages-dev conflict with libnuma-dev << 0.9.11-2.
