Package: libbiosoup-dev
Version: 0.10.0-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install
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

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

  Preparing to unpack .../libbiosoup-dev_0.10.0-2_all.deb ...
  Unpacking libbiosoup-dev (0.10.0-2) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libbiosoup-dev_0.10.0-2_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/include/biosoup/overlap.hpp', which is also in package libbioparser-dev 3.0.12-1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/libbiosoup-dev_0.10.0-2_all.deb

I already filed a bug on libbioparser-dev to stop shipping the biosoup
headers: #1000856

cheers,

Andreas
