[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#952747: libbio-alignio-stockholm-perl: missing Breaks+Replaces: libbio-perl-perl (<< 1.7.3)

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libbio-alignio-stockholm-perl
Version: 1.7.3-1
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 .../libbio-alignio-stockholm-perl_1.7.3-1_all.deb ...
  Unpacking libbio-alignio-stockholm-perl (1.7.3-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libbio-alignio-stockholm-perl_1.7.3-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man3/Bio::AlignIO::stockholm.3pm.gz', which is also in package libbio-perl-perl 1.7.2-3
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/libbio-alignio-stockholm-perl_1.7.3-1_all.deb

IIRC, libbio-perl-perl 1.7.3 was the version that got split up.


cheers,

Andreas
