kdevelop-data conflicting with kdevelop-l10n-de

[Ralf Jung]

I just added Kubuntu backports to my package sources, and installing/updating KDevelop failed. To be more precise, after kdevelop-data got installed, I can no longer install kdevelop-l10n-de (which I still had installed from earlier). It gives the following error:

Unpacking kdevelop-l10n-de (from .../kdevelop-l10n-de_4%3a4.1.2-0ubuntu1~maverick1~ppa1_all.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/kdevelop-l10n-de_4%3a4.1.2-0ubuntu1~maverick1~ppa1_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/kdevgdb.mo', which is also in package kdevelop-data 4:4.2.0-0ubuntu1~maverick1~ppa1
Unpacking kdevplatform-l10n-de (from .../kdevplatform-l10n-de_1.1.2-0ubuntu2~maverick1~ppa1_all.deb) ...

Same applies to kdevplatform-l10n-de. It looks like I do not need those packets as the translations are contained in the kdevelop-data packet, but those error message should still be avoided.

It's a conflict between kdevelop-data and kdevelop-l10n-de (which does not exist anymore for kdevelop 4.2.x) .
I don't find any kdevelop-l10n-de_4:4.1.2-0ubuntu1~maverick1~ppa1 in kubuntu/backports...

Could you give the output of the following command: apt-cache showpkg kdevelop-l10n-de ?
thanks

The package needs Breaks/Replaces against all the old -l10n packages. This was just never noticed yet since the archive strips the tranlations and this only could break in the PPA.

I backported kdevelop 4.2.2 from kubuntu-ninjas/ppa and fixed the problem.
Thanks for the report.
