File conflicts between binary packages built from scim

[ZhengPeng Hou]

/usr/lib/libscim-gtkutils-1.0.so.8.1.0 is shipped in both scim-gtk2-immodule and libscim8c2a. This causes problems when installing in Chinese.

It looks like the installed system is not quite happy and apt refuses to install any packages.

Actually, by doing a small chinese-to-english translation with the help of dpkg's Chinese translation, it appears that the problem is:

Apr 28 03:33:42 in-target: 正在解压缩 scim-gtk2-immodule (从 .../scim-gtk2-immodule_1.4.4-1ubuntu8_i386.deb) ...
Apr 28 03:33:43 in-target: dpkg：处理 /var/cache/apt/archives/scim-gtk2-immodule_1.4.4-1ubuntu8_i386.deb (--unpack)时出错：
Apr 28 03:33:43 in-target: 正试图覆盖“/usr/lib/libscim-gtkutils-1.0.so.8.1.0”，它属于软件包 libscim8c2a

The last line translates to "trying to overwrite “/usr/lib/libscim-gtkutils-1.0.so.8.1.0”, which is also in package libscim8c2a.

I'll reassign this to scim-gtk2-immodule and libscim8c2a and they can work it out.

Not a grub bug, rejecting for grub. Bug still open for scim.

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

rejecting generic Ubuntu task; bug is already filed against the appropriate package

This bug was fixed long ago in dapper:

scim (1.4.4-1ubuntu9) dapper; urgency=low

  * Make scim-gtk2-immodule conflict with old libscim8c2a

However, since the new merge in gutsy 1.4.6-1ubuntu1 dropped the "reassign files to packages" patch, this bug is appearing again, as reported by Chad Waters in bug #67057.

I've subscribed the sponsor of 1.4.6-1ubuntu1, Daniel, to this bug (the uploader, Zhengpeng, is already subscribed). Let's see what they say about this bug.

scim (1.4.7-1ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Merge with Debian for new upstream, remaining changes:
   - Adds kubuntu_01_hide_in_kde.dpatch, removed the scim-setup entry in
     Kmenu, since that duplicates with skim
   - Move usr/lib/libscim-gtkutils-1.0.so.8 and
     usr/lib/libscim-gtkutils-1.0.so.8.* to scim-gtk2-immodule.
   - Add scim-gtk2-immodule to libscim-dev's Depends, LP: #42024.
   - Set Maintainer to Ubuntu Core developers
   - debian/patches/20_scim_config.dpatch:
    - Enable Trigger keys with CJK native keys (ubuntu: #37687),

scim (1.4.7-2) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  * Don't install desktop entry scim-setup.desktop in deprecated location
    /usr/share/control-center-2.0/capplets/ anymore.
    - Add 10_remove-deprecated-desktop-entry dpatch to remove relevant part in
      extras/setup/Makefile.am.
    - Regenerate 90_relibtoolize dpatch.
    - Remove the "usr/share/control-center-2.0/capplets/scim-setup.desktop"
      line in debian/scim.install.

scim (1.4.7-1) unstable; urgency=low

  The "keeping up with upstream" release.

  * New upstream release.
    - Include missing header, this time <cstring>, for a few files, to make
      scim buildable with (the constantly evolving) GCC 4.3.
      (Closes: #417686, again)
    - Remove an infinite loop with 0.1 second timeout in the X11 frontend to
      avoid waking up CPU constantly, therefore preserve power consumption and
      extend laptop battery life. (Fixes LP: #122445)
    - Change 10_gtk-immodule-install-dir dpatch to patch configure.ac instead
      of extras/gtk2_immodule/Makefile.am, to adapt to the upstream change.
    - Regenerate 90_relibtoolize dpatch. Also adjust the timestamp touching
      in debian/rules accordingly.
  * Clarify build dependency.
    - Remove intltool as upstream tarball ships its own 0.33 version.
    - Add libpango1.0-dev, libglib2.0-dev, and pkg-config explicitly (used to
      be pulled in by libgtk2.0-dev).
  * Add libx11-dev as a dependency of libscim-dev explicitly, it used to be
    pulled in by libgtk2.0-dev.
  * Add scim-thai to scim's "Suggests:" list.
  * Add "-W -g" compiler flags back. The warnings are somehow useful when
    reading the build logs, and the debug information will be useful for
    manually built packages with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip.
  * Change maintainer's email address.
