Bug Description
When I installed this great tool today on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit, it also downloaded the required packages "cuetools", "libuchardet0" and "mac" in addition to the main "flacon" package.
I then received the following error messages, although flacon worked well after installation because "mac" was already installed:
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/
trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/mac', which is also in package monkeys-audio 4.11.1~trusty1
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I think this must be a bug.
If another "mac" exists already, "flacon" should either skip it quietly or overwrite if the one that will be installed is a higher version.
BTW, my current "mac", Monkey's Audio Console Front End version is 4.11
Leaving the installation in that state gave "Broken Package" error. When I uninstalled "monkeys-audio" this problem was resolved, but this time "flacon" didn't work properly until I manually replaced "mac" version 3.99 (from the flacon ppa) with "mac" version 4.11 (from the "monkeys-audio" package in ubuntu repositories).

The flacon cannot control the installation process, it (or rather the file in the deb package) only reports the list of dependencies. Unfortunately mac has no official package in Debian/Ubuntu, so I made my own package for mac. It comfortable for the most users, they get worked program out of the box. Your package has a different name as result you got a conflict.

This is interesting! What the problems with the mac version 3.99?
P.S. It would be better if you create the issue on the official bug-tracker - https:/
