[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#813086: beast-mcmc: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - trying to overwrite /usr/bin/tracer

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: beast-mcmc
Version: 1.8.2~754b844-2
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 beast-mcmc.
  Preparing to unpack .../beast-mcmc_1.8.2~754b844-2_all.deb ...
  Unpacking beast-mcmc (1.8.2~754b844-2) ...

   trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/tracer', which is also in package pvm-dev 3.4.5-12.6
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)


cheers,

Andreas
