Description Jean-Baptiste Faure 2014-10-30 05:42:11 UTC 
I build LO 4.4.0.0.alpha1+ in release mode to install it on several Linux PC.

This morning, after my own nightly build, something changed: dpkg complains about several programs  which belongs to 2 packages

Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha1+

Installation worked with the --force-overwrite dpkg option but it is not a solution.

Hi Michael Stahl, 

I put you in cc because yesterday you pushed commits relative to the installer and I guess the error is there.

Comment 2 David Tardon 2014-10-30 12:42:22 UTC 
The reason for this is that the new code leaves an extra comma at the beginning or end of Files records (when a macro expands to ''). par2script.pl does not handle that correctly.
Comment 3 Rene Engelhard 2014-10-31 16:57:09 UTC 
fwiw, they ahould stay in the correct subpackage, not in -core if this is fixed :)
