unity-webapps-amazon overwriting file from unity-webapps-common

[Łukasz Zemczak]

When installing both unity-webapps-common and unity-webapps-amazon, we get the following error in the daily-release check job:

/var/log/upstart/otto-setup.log: Selecting previously unselected package unity-webapps-amazon.
/var/log/upstart/otto-setup.log: Unpacking unity-webapps-amazon (from .../unity-webapps-amazon_2.4.16daily13.06.20-0ubuntu1_all.deb) ...
/var/log/upstart/otto-setup.log: dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/unity-webapps-amazon_2.4.16daily13.06.20-0ubuntu1_all.deb (--unpack):

This is blocking the release.

This issue was caused by the fix for #1214350, in which Alex copy&pasted the amazon app back into lp:webapps-applicatons, so that it could be default-installed (although in hindsight I'm wondering if maybe there wasn't a better way to do that...).

For now the best course of action is probably to just stop installing unity-webapps-amazon package.

I noticed last week this is not anymore happening, and it continues to be so. I wonder what changed, since both webapps-applications and the amazon webapp are still compiling, and no commits have been added there?

But if amazon app is going to be part of webapps-applications for good, then the separate amazon app should be probably permanently removed.

[Alexandre Abreu (abreu-alexandre)]

Yeah we could remove the amazon webapp package altogether. It might actually make sense given that we already have amazon in the unity-assets packages.

[Robert Bruce Park (robru)]

Ok, I've removed amazon from the webapps stack.
