Hello fellow Archers,

I received the following error while upgrading system-config-printer:

> error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) 
> system-config-printer: /usr/share/system-config-printer/debug.pyc
> exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Apparently, at some point python automatically compiled debug.py into
debug.pyc to increase long term performance. However, the new package
has debug.pyc presupplied.

The solution was to delete debug.pyc, then everything installs cleanly
and works fine.

Of course, this begs the question: Should a compiled python module be
supplied in a package (debug.pyc), or should the local machine
interpret/compile/do whatever it wants with a python script (debug.py)?
