[Bug 1267680] Re: package gdb-arm-none-eabi (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/gdb.1.gz', which is also in package gdb 7.6.50.20131218-0ubuntu1

 

It looks like the version in the new changelog entry should probably be
`2` instead of having an ubuntu prefix, since the prefix is already
built into the version number.

Beyond that, it looks like the patch is just removing all of the man
pages that would normally be copied to the staging directory, so that
they don't make it into the final deb.

I don't see anything in your patch that would be causing it to build a
much newer version of gdb. Did it build the older version of gdb before
you applied your patch?

  SRU

  [Impact]
  Currently it is not possible to install this package alongside gdb. See also comments #8 and #9.

  [Test case]
  Attempt to install `gdb-arm-none-eabi` where `gdb` is already installed.

  [Regression potential]
  The patch used is one available in a newer version of the package.
  There is some confusion regarding the version number and how much changes has actually gone into this rebuild, see comment #9.
