Package: eudev
Version: 3.2.14-2
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 mdadm

Boian,

eudev has and undeclared file conflict with systemd-dev:

Unpacking eudev (3.2.14-2) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/eudev_3.2.14-2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/pkgconfig/udev.pc', which is also in package systemd-dev 257-2

I suppose it needs a Conflicts, but that needs testing to ensure that
build-depends we require are still co-installable. I came across this while
debugging mdadm autopkgtest failures.

Mark.
