[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#870228: physamp: fails to upgrade from 'stretch' - trying to overwrite /usr/bin/bppphysamp

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: physamp
Version: 1.0.2-1
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
'stretch'.
It installed fine in 'stretch', 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 physamp.
  Preparing to unpack .../physamp_1.0.2-1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking physamp (1.0.2-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/physamp_1.0.2-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/bppphysamp', which is also in package bppsuite 2.2.0-0.1+b1
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/physamp_1.0.2-1_amd64.deb


cheers,

Andreas
