Bug#768207: libqglviewer-dev: fails to upgrade from 'wheezy' - trying to overwrite /usr/include/QGLViewer/vec.h

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libqglviewer-dev
Version: 2.5.3+dfsg-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'wheezy'.
It installed fine in 'wheezy', then the upgrade to 'jessie' 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 libqglviewer-dev.
  Unpacking libqglviewer-dev (from .../libqglviewer-dev_2.5.3+dfsg-1_amd64.deb) ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libqglviewer-dev_2.5.3+dfsg-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/include/QGLViewer/vec.h', which is also in package libqglviewer-dev-common 2.3.4-4.2
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/libqglviewer-dev_2.5.3+dfsg-1_amd64.deb


cheers,

Andreas
