[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#817188: libbamtools-doc: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/doc/libbamtools-dev/html/functions_v.html

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libbamtools-doc
Version: 2.4.0+dfsg-4
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 libbamtools-doc.
  Preparing to unpack .../libbamtools-doc_2.4.0+dfsg-4_all.deb ...

   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/libbamtools-dev/html/functions_v.html', which is also in package libbamtools-dev 2.4.0+dfsg-3+b1
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

cheers,

Andreas
