[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#718407: grinder: fails to install, trying to overwrite other packages files: /usr/share/man/man3/Bio::SeqFeature::Primer.3pm.gz

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: grinder
Version: 0.5.3-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install
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 grinder.
  (Reading database ... 10128 files and directories currently installed.)
  Unpacking grinder (from .../grinder_0.5.3-1_all.deb) ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/grinder_0.5.3-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man3/Bio::SeqFeature::Primer.3pm.gz', which is also in package libbio-perl-perl 1.6.901-3
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/grinder_0.5.3-1_all.deb


cheers,

Andreas
