Package: fastqtl,fastqtl-doc
Version: 2.184+dfsg-2
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
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

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

  Selecting previously unselected package fastqtl-doc.
  Preparing to unpack .../fastqtl-doc_2.184+dfsg-2_all.deb ...

  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/fastqtl-doc_2.184+dfsg-2_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/fastQTL.1.gz', which is also in package fastqtl 2.184+dfsg-2
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/fastqtl-doc_2.184+dfsg-2_all.deb


cheers,

Andreas
