[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#919794: python3-sbml5-doc: missing Breaks+Replaces: libsbml5-python-doc

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: python3-sbml5-doc
Version: 5.17.2+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
'stable'.
It installed fine in 'stable', 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#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

This test intentionally skipped 'testing' to find file overwrite
problems before packages migrate from 'unstable' to 'testing'.

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

  Preparing to unpack .../python3-sbml5-doc_5.17.2+dfsg-1_all.deb ...
  Unpacking python3-sbml5-doc (5.17.2+dfsg-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-sbml5-doc_5.17.2+dfsg-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/libsbml5/python-api', which is also in package libsbml5-python-doc 5.13.0+dfsg-1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-sbml5-doc_5.17.2+dfsg-1_all.deb


cheers,

Andreas
