[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#894143: bedops-doc: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/doc/bedops/html/_downloads/Frequencies-DHSs.bed.starch.gz

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: bedops-doc
Version: 2.4.32+dfsg-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
'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/#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

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

  Selecting previously unselected package bedops-doc.

   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/bedops/html/_downloads/Frequencies-DHSs.bed.starch.gz', which is also in package bedops 2.4.26+dfsg-1
  Errors were encountered while processing:

cheers,
