[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1077960: xmedcon: missing Breaks+Replaces: medcon (<< 0.24)

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: xmedcon
Version: 0.24.0-gtk3+dfsg-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts fileconflict

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'bookworm'.
It installed fine in 'bookworm', then the upgrade to 'trixie' 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

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

  Preparing to unpack .../xmedcon_0.24.0-gtk3+dfsg-1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking xmedcon (0.24.0-gtk3+dfsg-1) ...

   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/applications/xmedcon.desktop', which is also in package medcon 0.23.0-gtk3+dfsg-1
  Errors were encountered while processing:

cheers,

Andreas
