Package: libgenomicsdb1
Version: 1.5.3-2
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
'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 .../libgenomicsdb1_1.5.3-2_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking libgenomicsdb1 (1.5.3-2) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libgenomicsdb1_1.5.3-2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/genomicsdb/libgenomicsdb-hts.so', which is also in package libgenomicsdb0 1.4.4-3
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/libgenomicsdb1_1.5.3-2_amd64.deb


The conflicting files are

  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/genomicsdb/libgenomicsdb-hts.so
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/genomicsdb/libgenomicsdb-tiledb.so


cheers,

Andreas
