[Bug 40049] Conflicts with "libbrlapi" in package manager

[Lambros Lambrou]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gnopernicus libbrlapi1 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Confirmed


Description:
Looks like packages libbrlapi1 and libbrlapi are both trying to own the
file: /lib/libbrlapi.so.0.4

Synaptic won't let me remove "libbrlapi" to try to fix the dependency
problem.  The update manager recommends using "-f install" to repair the
index, but this fails:

You might want to run ‘apt-get -f install’ to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
  brltty: Depends: libbrlapi1 but it is not going to be installed
  gnopernicus: Depends: libbrlapi1 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt-get -f install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).
