Bug#709153: wordnet-dev: missing Breaks+Replaces: wordnet (<< 1:3.0-30~)

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: wordnet-dev
Version: 1:3.0-30
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'testing'.
It installed fine in 'testing', 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
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

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

  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/wordnet-dev_1%3a3.0-30_amd64.deb

Adding

Package: wordnet-dev
Breaks: wordnet (<< 1:3.0-30~)
Replaces: wordnet (<< 1:3.0-30~)

should fix this.


cheers,

Andreas
