Bug Description

I have a system which I have upgraded from breezy to dapper. Upon attempting to install libqglviewer-dev the installation fails with the following error:

Selecting previously deselected package libqglviewer1.
(Reading database ... 157763 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking libqglviewer1 (from .../libqglviewer1_1.4-2ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking libqglviewer-dev (from .../libqglviewer-dev_1.4-2ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libqglviewer-dev_1.4-2ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libqglviewer.1.0.0', which is also in package libqglviewer1
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libqglviewer-dev_1.4-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Looks like /usr/lib/libqglviewer.1.0.0 should not be in this package.

Package libqglviewer has been removed during the feisty dev cycle so I'm closing this.
