Bug Description
gir1.2-signon-1.0 from groovy
gir1.2-signon-2.0 from hirsute
above two packages ship the same file /usr/lib/
[Test Case]
This can be simply tested with a focal schroot:
1) apt-get install vim libsignon-glib-dev
2) edit /etc/apt/
3) apt-get update
4) apt-get install libsignon-glib-dev
With the version of libsignon-glib-dev from -proposed you'll no longer receive the 'dpkg: error' from below.
Unpacking gir1.2-
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/
trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Probably needs a conflicts/replaces dependency added to the newer hirsute package.
[Regression Potential]
We are adding a replaces with gir1.2-signon-1.0 so anything that depends on that package would be broken but given that that package is no longer available after focal that seems fine.
