Bug#722647: libvisp2.8: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/visp/data/ogre-simulator/resources.cfg

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libvisp2.8
Version: 2.8.0-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: affects -1 + libvisp-dev

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...):

  Selecting previously unselected package libvisp2.8:amd64.
  Unpacking libvisp2.8:amd64 (from .../libvisp2.8_2.8.0-1_amd64.deb) ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libvisp2.8_2.8.0-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/visp/data/ogre-simulator/resources.cfg', which is also in package libvisp2:amd64 2.7.0-4
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)


cheers,

Andreas
