[DRE-maint] Bug#929407: ruby-inherited-resources: /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/generators/rails/USAGE is already shipped by ruby-active-model-serializers

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: ruby-inherited-resources
Version: 1.9.0-1
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
'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 .../ruby-inherited-resources_1.9.0-1_all.deb ...
  Unpacking ruby-inherited-resources (1.9.0-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/ruby-inherited-resources_1.9.0-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/generators/rails/USAGE', which is also in package ruby-active-model-serializers 0.10.8-1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/ruby-inherited-resources_1.9.0-1_all.deb


cheers,

Andreas
