package uim-qt3 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/uim.mo', which is also in package libuim-data 1:1.5.6-0ubuntu1

Binary package hint: uim

An attempt to install the uim metapackage resulted in an 'Error: BrokenCount > 0'.

ProblemType: Package

DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10
ErrorMessage: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/uim.mo', which is also in package libuim-data 1:1.5.6-0ubuntu1
NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia
Package: uim-qt3 (not installed)
ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-14.48-generic

Title: package uim-qt3 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/uim.mo', which is also in package libuim-data 1:1.5.6-0ubuntu1
Uname: Linux 2.6.31-14-generic x86_64

Impact of the bug: this package cannot be installed, and gives an error during the upgrade

How the bug has been addressed: a patch has been retrofitted from Debian to not rename the mo file at build time, install the new mo file.

TEST CASE: run 'sudo apt-get install uim-qt3' will give a "Broken packages" error. When using the new package, uim-qt3 can be installed

Potential regression: the worst situation could be that uim-qt3 stop working (this is the only changed package), but as it's not installable right now, it can't be worst than the actual situation.

Confirmed: I made a mistake when I packaged this app, and the uim.mo file is duplicated...
Will fix it.

ACK to the uim in karmic-proposed's queue. For now, for Universe packages, please continue to attach a debdiff in the bug report to facilitate review.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Accepted into karmic-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!
