Bug Description

I got this error during a test-upgrade from edgy->feisty:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dmsetup_2%3a1.02.08-1ubuntu4_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/sbin/devmap_name', which is also in package multipath-tools
Preparing to replace libdevmapper-dev 2:1.02.07-1ubuntu2 (using .../libdevmapper-dev_2%3a1.02.08-1ubuntu4_i386.deb) ...

Preparing to replace libdevmapper1.02 2:1.02.07-1ubuntu2 (using .../libdevmapper1.02_2%3a1.02.08-1ubuntu4_i386.deb) ...

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/dmsetup_2%3a1.02.08-1ubuntu4_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I'm not sure if it is a dmsetup or a multipath-tools problem, but because both are maintained by the same group, it shouldn't be a problem :)

Cheers,
