[Cupt-devel] Bug#792847: libcupt4-dev: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - trying to overwrite /usr/include/cupt/common.hpp

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libcupt4-dev
Version: 2.9.1
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#s-replaces

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

  Selecting previously unselected package libcupt4-dev.
  Preparing to unpack .../libcupt4-dev_2.9.1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking libcupt4-dev (2.9.1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libcupt4-dev_2.9.1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/include/cupt/common.hpp', which is also in package libcupt3-dev 2.8.4
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/libcupt4-dev_2.9.1_amd64.deb


cheers,

Andreas
