reassign 287623 wxwidgets2.5

Thanks Mate :)

Reassigning this bug to the source package because there are other cases
where conflicts between wxWindows2.4 and wxWidgets2.5 are needed.

Hello,

I reassigned this bug to the source package because, on inspection,
there are more conflicting things than the one listed in the original
bug report. It actually seems like a fair bit of wxWindows2.4 has
overlapping files with wxWidgets2.5.

Here is a list of the overlapping things I found:

A)
/usr/bin/wxrc is in libwxgtk2.4-contrib-dev and in wx2.5-common
(and the manpages for those also overlap)

B)
helpviewer img2py pyalacarte pycrust pywrap xrced
img2png img2xpm pyalamode pyshell pywxrc

are in /usr/bin for wxpython2.5.3 and for libwxgtk2.4-python
(and their manpages)

C)
/usr/share/aclocal/wxwwin.m4
is in wx2.5-common and in wxwin2.4-headers.

wx-config.1.gz
is in /usr/share/man/man1 for wx2.5-common and for wxwin2.4-headers.

D) lots of stuff is the same iin /usr/share/locale
for wx2.5-i18n and in wxwin2.4-i18n.

E)
wx.pth and wxversion.py
are in usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages in wxpython2.5.3

So, I think that several of the wxWidgets2.5 packages need to conflict
with several of the wxWindows2.4 packages. I changed the debian/control
file like this:

Hi Helen,

thanks for the detailed description of where things went wrong
for you, everything is currently in the process of being shuffled
around to support concurrent installs of 2.4 and 2.5 so some of
these are known and a different fix is on its way -- as doko noted,
we don't really _want_ these things to conflict, otherwise it
becomes very hard for people to migrate from one version to
the next -- I've got a couple of things queued up while I wait
for upstream cvs to stabilise around my latest changes again,
but as soon as we can make a clean snapshot once more I'll get one
uploaded to fix this and other things.

> E)
> wx.pth and wxversion.py

This one is curious though, as they surely don't conflict with
any wx2.4 package. What was the trouble there?

thanks,
Ron

Thanks for explaining that :) I can see that it is tangled and I'm glad
I'm not the one having to sort it all out...

What happened is that the Debian Women group is running a little bug
squashing effort, in conjunction with the main BSP, so I was hanging
about asking someone if there was a nice easy bug I could look at, and
Steve Langasek suggested 287623, which pleased me because I use
wxWidgets all the time, so I know something about it already. So I
looked to see if there were other overlapping files between wxWindows2.4
and wxWidgets2.5, realised there were quite a lot, and changed the bug
to reflect that (I asked some advice on what to do - as you might guess
I haven't had much practise at this kind of thing, yet).

Ahh, sorry! That shouldn't be there. It's a leftover from when I went
through listing things that didn't have "versioned" names in wx*2.5 and
therefore might have overlapping things in wx*2.4. Please ignore that
and sorry for the mistake.

Best wishes,

Helen.
