[Bug 876564] Re: package gnuradio-companion (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/grc', which is also in package grc 0:1.3

 

Thanks for reporting this issue.

The bug here was that both gnuradio-companion and the grc package both
contain a file with the same name, which caused problems when attempting
to install them at the same time. As you may have already discovered,
this issue has been fixed some time ago, when the file in gnuradio was
renamed to gnuradio-companion instead. See the corresponding Debian bug
report (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=557050) for
more information.

For unrelated reasons (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=653749) gnuradio was not included in Ubuntu 12.04,
but I have tested with 14.04 and verified that both gnuradio and grc can
be installed at the same time without any conflicts. I'm therefore
closing this as fixed.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all
reported bugs in a timely manner.
