package icedtea-netx-common 1.2-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/icedtea-web/plugin.jar', which is also in package icedtea-plugin 1.1.3-1ubuntu1.1

There's a debdiff in Bug #1025553

This isn't needed in quantal since there's no upgrade path from 1.1.3 to quantal

Hello glennr, or anyone else affected,

Accepted icedtea-web into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icedtea-web/1.2-2ubuntu1.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

I was able to reproduce the failure starting from (un-updated) icedtea-web 1.1.3-1ubuntu1 in oneiric and upgrading icedtea-netx-common 1.2-2ubuntu1.1 in precise-updates, and can confirm that the failure does not occur when upgrading from 1.1.3-1ubuntu1/oneiric to 1.2-2ubuntu1.2 in precise-proposed. I've also verified that the version of icedtea-web continues to function within firefox after upgrading icedtea-web to the version in precise-proposed. Marking verification-done.

The verification of this Stable Release Update has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.
