[DRE-maint] Bug#768160: ruby-twitter: fails to upgrade from 'wheezy' - trying to overwrite /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/twitter/version.rb

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: ruby-twitter
Version: 5.11.0-1
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
'wheezy'.
It installed fine in 'wheezy', then the upgrade to 'jessie' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

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

  Selecting previously unselected package ruby-twitter.
  Unpacking ruby-twitter (from .../ruby-twitter_5.11.0-1_all.deb) ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ruby-twitter_5.11.0-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/twitter/version.rb', which is also in package ruby-twitter4r 0.7.0-3
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/ruby-twitter_5.11.0-1_all.deb


cheers,

Andreas
