Bug Description

The "zfsutils-linux" package has "Replaces: zfs" and "Conflicts: zfs" but not "Provides: zfs" making it impossible to install packages that depend on zfs like simplesnap for example.

Tested on an updated Xenial system with zfsutils-linux 0.6.5.3-0ubuntu5

Hi Michael,

Can you give an example of the simplesnap use-case so I can test this out?

simplesnap requires 2 zfs enabled host to do snapshot replication which might be a bit time consuming to test. The same problem happens with zfsnap which requires less setup.

Install zfsutils-linux.
 apt-get install zfsutils-linux

Create a new zfs pool with zpool, I will use 'tank' as an example.

Install zfsnap, it currently fails at this step by removing 'zfsutils-linux' and installing 'zfs-fuse'.
 apt-get install zfsnap

Create a snapshot with zfsnap.
 zfSnap -r tank

Check that the snapshot was created.
zfs list -r snapshot

I tested your ppa package and it now works as intended, I can install zfsnap along zfsutils-linux.

Thanks.
