    Add Build-Conflicts on libsteam-runtime-tools-0-helpers · ea250de4
    Simon McVittie authored
    
    Since steam-runtime-tools was made relocatable in c3a06cce, its build
    will fail with the Steam Runtime 1 'scout' version of dpkg if it is
    already installed system-wide.
    
    If the SDK container where steam-runtime-tools is built has our
    $(pkglibexecdir) populated with symbolic links to the dependency
    libraries, then dpkg-shlibdeps will look there to convert DT_NEEDED
    dependencies into Debian dependencies. Unfortunately, the version of
    dpkg in SteamRT 1 'scout' has Debian bug #843073, which means it assumes
    all libraries are found via their canonical names as listed in the dpkg
    database, not a symlink-based alias. This results in the build failing
    with an error similar to:
    
        dpkg-shlibdeps: error: no dependency information found for
        /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/steam-runtime-tools-0/libglib-2.0.so.0
        (used by
        debian/libsteam-runtime-tools-0-helpers/usr/libexec/steam-runtime-tools-0/x86_64-linux-gnu-check-locale)
    
    Until we get a newer Docker image with a newer version of this
    package that works around this issue, we will have to remove it
    explicitly before running CI. Adding Build-Conflicts is not enough:
    autopkgtest installs build-dependencies, but does not remove
    Build-Conflicts.
