Bug Description

The detailed, automated-output description of the problem appears below. libgtkada2 has a file conflict at /usr/bin/gdialog with the preexisting package zenity which also provides a /usr/bin/gdialog. The zenity package is part of Eclipse. Given that Eclipse is software development and that Ada is software development, it is probably not an option for Eclipse/zenity or libgtkada2 package teams to allow this conflict to continue under the hypothetical advice "For your machine pick either Java & C & etc in Eclipse or Ada, but not both".

ProblemType: Package
Architecture: i386
Dependencies:

DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.10
ErrorMessage: trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/gdialog', which is also in package zenity
Package: libgtkada2-bin None [modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/libgtkada2-bin.list]
SourcePackage: libgtkada2
Title: package libgtkada2-bin None [modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/libgtkada2-bin.list] failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/gdialog', which is also in package zenity
Uname: Linux 2.6.27-7-generic i686
