Bug Description

When I applied to install all the wallpapers installed by previous version of Ubuntu, Synaptic game the following error:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/ubuntu-wallpapers-karmic_0.34.0_all.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/backgrounds/Bay.jpg', which is also in package ubuntu-wallpapers-extra 0.1

In the end the installation of ubuntu-wallpapers-karmic is canceled or aborted.

I don't believe it to be a major problem since this can just be ignored, but I decided to report nonetheless.

Here is the terminal output when installing the wallpapers:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

I too just encountered this.

I unpacked both .deb files, and observed the following:

* The set of image files in both packages is identical

* Only ubuntu-backgrounds-karmic contains a background sequence XML file: /usr/share/backgrounds/contest/karmic.xml

* The /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/*.xml file contained in the two packages is identical, with the exception of the entry within the XML referencing the background sequence XML file mentioned above.

* ubuntu-wallpapers-extra additionally ships a file /usr/share/gconf/defaults/16_ubuntu-wallpapers-extra aiming to set one of its own images as a default GNOME background if installed.

Following the reasoning that gconf is deprecated by dconf, and that an additional wallpaper package probably shouldn't be trying to influence the default background anyway, I propose that ubuntu-wallpapers-karmic is strictly better than ubuntu-wallpapers-extra.

I am therefore subscribing ~ubuntu-sponsors, requesting sponsorship for a removal request for ubuntu-wallpapers-extra.

We should build a transitional package from ubuntu-wallpapers for this too.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-wallpapers - 0.34.1

---------------
ubuntu-wallpapers (0.34.1) precise; urgency=low

  [ Ken VanDine ]
  * debian/control
    - dropped build depends for xsltproc
    - set priority for transitional package ubuntu-wallpapers-extra to extra

  [ Iain Lane ]
  * debian/control
    - Provide transitional package for ubuntu-wallpapers-extra, an old package
      which was providing the Karmic wallpapers and thus shared files with
      ubuntu-wallpapers-karmic. (LP: #975778)
     - Put ubuntu-wallpapers (the package) in Section: metapackages as
       dependencies of packages in this section are considered "manual" by apt
       and therefore will not be removed on upgrades. This means that users
       will keep wallpapers from old releases when upgrading. Thanks to James
       Westby for pointing this out to me. (LP: #863509)

I removed ubuntu-wallpapers-extra source from precise. I also fixed the override for ubuntu-wallpapers according to what the latest source says ("metapackages").
