[Pkg-ayatana-devel] Bug#940212: xfce4-sntray-plugin-common: missing Breaks+Replaces: vala-sntray-plugin (<< 0.4.12)

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: xfce4-sntray-plugin-common
Version: 0.4.12-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'testing'.
It installed fine in 'testing', then the upgrade to 'sid' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Preparing to unpack .../xfce4-sntray-plugin-common_0.4.12-1_all.deb ...
  Unpacking xfce4-sntray-plugin-common (0.4.12-1) over (0.4.11-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/xfce4-sntray-plugin-common_0.4.12-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.valapanel.toplevel.sntray.gschema.xml', which is also in package vala-sntray-plugin 0.4.11-1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/xfce4-sntray-plugin-common_0.4.12-1_all.deb


cheers,

Andreas
