inetutils documentation conflict
Package Information
- Package name: docs inetutils-ftp-doc inetutils-telnet-doc inetutils-syslogd-doc
- Package version: docs-0.2-r6 inetutils-ftp-doc-2.4-r0 inetutils-telnet-doc-2.4-r0 inetutils-syslogd-doc-2.4-r1
- Alpine version: 3.19.1 (but i think other versions are affected as well)
- Alpine architecture: x86_64
Summary
inetutils-ftp-doc, inetutils-telnet-doc and inetutils-syslogd-doc try to write to the same documentation file (/usr/share/info/inetutils.info) which causes an error if you want to install more than one of these packages because the file is already owned by one of the packages.
This becomes really annoying because apk reports "1 ERROR;"(or 2 errors if the 3 packages are present) every time.
I cannot delete any of the inetutils-*-doc packages because the docs package depends on them, and uninstalling docs would delete all of the other documentation packages.
Steps to reproduce
There are 2 ways to reproduce the issue:
# apk add inetutils-ftp-doc inetutils-telnet-doc
or
# apk add docs
# apk add inetutils-ftp inetutils-telnet
Thank you! Alpine Linux is awesome!
