# `file-in-root-and-usr`

The package ships two files with the same name installed both in /{bin,sbin,lib*}/ and /usr/{bin,sbin,lib*}/. This is incompatible with the merged /usr directories scheme.

Packages with conflicting files must remove one of them if possible or make it a symlink to the other and manage the links in the maintainer scripts.

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
