Package: libcommons-vfs-java
Version: 2.1-3
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 .../libcommons-vfs-java_2.1-3_all.deb ...
  Unpacking libcommons-vfs-java (2.1-3) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libcommons-vfs-java_2.1-3_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/libcommons-vfs-java/examples/pom.xml', which is also in package libcommons-vfs-java-doc 2.1-2
  dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/libcommons-vfs-java_2.1-3_all.deb


libcommons-vfs-java-doc has been merged into libcommons-vfs-java in 2.1-3
but no B+R were added.


cheers,

Andreas
