[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#812328: bcftools: fails to upgrade from 'jessie' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/man/man1/bcftools.1.gz

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: bcftools
Version: 1.2-1
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
'jessie'.
It installed fine in 'jessie', 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 bcftools.
  Preparing to unpack .../bcftools_1.2-1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking bcftools (1.2-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/bcftools_1.2-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/bcftools.1.gz', which is also in package samtools 0.1.19-1

cheers,

Andreas
