Summary0001390: debian package python-bareos and python3-bareos not co-installable
DescriptionHi all,
  If I try to install python3-bareos after python-bareos is already installed there is an error showing that the two packages both contain the file '/usr/bin/bareos-fd-connect.py'.
  This makes it difficult to migrate python 2 scripts to python 3. :)

Thanks for your work!

I can reproduce the issue.
If it is just for migrating your scripts, you can simply install python-bareos using pip which will also work per user or in a virtual env.

Hope that helps!

dpkg --force-all --install /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-bareos_20.0.4-1_all.deb (or whatever version you have) can be used to force the python3 to be installed.
To add information : such trouble doesn't exist in the rpm delivered packages as only python3 contain /usr/bin/ scripts.

As Python 2 support is going away completely, I don't think we're going to fix this issue anymore.
