sa-compile conflict

[IEM]

it seems that both the proxmox-spamassassin (from PMG) and the sa-compile (from stock Debian) provide a /usr/bin/sa-compile file, which prevents the two from being co-installable.

is it necessary that proxmox-spamassassin provides that binary (rather than depending on the sa-compile package from Debian)?

• if yes, shouldn't there be a

  Replaces: sa-compile

  clause in the .deb metadata?
• if no (because the actual binary is not modified), you probably need to add a

  Provides: spamassassin

  clause (so that the dependencies for sa-compile can be satisfied)

Thanks for the report! much appreciated

The sa-compile executable is shipped with proxmox-spamassassin - so - yes the Replaces part should be added to proxmox-spamassassin.
I'll try to create a patch and test it - but in the meanwhile you should be fine by just not install sa-compile.
