package wine64-development-tools 1.9.0-1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/winegcc-development.1.gz', which is also in package wine-development 1.9.0-1

[stephen duffy]

during installation of updates this bug was diecovered causing failure of the update installation. Any time I attempt to access any wine applications I end up dealing with a gray screen.

wine64-development-tools now ships /usr/share/man/man1/winegcc-development.1.gz, before it was /usr/share/man/man1/winegcc64-development.1.gz.
Similar for wine32-development-tools.

However I don't understand how winegcc-development.1.gz, ended up in wine-development. It wasn't there in 1.9.0-1 in *Debian*:

1.9.0-1 Debian:
$ dpkg -X /var/cache/apt/archives/wine-development_1.9.0-1_all.deb .|grep gcc
$ dpkg -X /var/cache/apt/archives/wine64-development-tools_1.9.0-1_amd64.deb .|grep gcc
./usr/share/man/man1/winegcc64-development.1.gz
./usr/bin/winegcc64-development
./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wine-development/winegcc

1.9.0-2 Debian:
$ dpkg -X /var/cache/apt/archives/wine-development_1.9.0-2_all.deb .|grep gcc
$ dpkg -X /var/cache/apt/archives/wine64-development-tools_1.9.0-2_amd64.deb .|grep gcc
./usr/share/man/man1/winegcc-development.1.gz
./usr/lib/wine-development/winegcc
./usr/bin/winegcc-development

In 1.9.0-2 I added code to explicitly prevent installing the winegcc manpage in wine-development. So I hope that it won't reappear there on Ubuntu from now on - for whatever reason it was there before.

So I'd say you just have to add a breaks/replaces.

The last message was for the update issues.

For the gray screen you probably have to install libfontconfig1:i386 (it's recommended, but not depended on by libwine).

The gray screen issue was fixed by a dependency on fontconfig1 in 1.9.1-1.

The upgrade issue affected only packages during the Xenial release cycle. Before wine-development was not in Ubuntu.

Since people on Xenial aren't affected by this anymore, I'm closing this "Fix Released".
