Description
Version: 1.4.1-1 to 1.50 Platform: Linux - Ubuntu 12.04
Minor error when installing the new version of scummvm when you already have a previous version installed. I was using 'gdebi' to install the debian package and here is it's output.
Preparing to replace scummvm 1.4.1-1 (using .../scummvm_1.5.0-precise.1_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement scummvm ... dpkg: error processing /home/me/Desktop/scummvm_1.5.0-precise.1_i386.deb (--install): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/applications/scummvm.desktop', which is also in package scummvm-data 1.4.1-1 dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Processing triggers for man-db ... Processing triggers for bamfdaemon ... Rebuilding /usr/share/applications/bamf.index... Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils ... Processing triggers for gnome-menus ... Errors were encountered while processing: /home/me/Desktop/scummvm_1.5.0-precise.1_i386.deb
Uninstalling scumm then reattempting obviously allowed it to work but some may not understand the problem and not do that.

This is not a bug and is out of scope of ScummVM. You really need to submit this to Ubuntu package maintainers.

I think the problem here is that the Ubuntu packager packages ScummVM in a different way, thus upgrading ScummVM from an official Ubuntu package to our Ubuntu packages won't work.
I am so far not convinced that this is really a bug.
