Bug#782105: gazebo5: fails to upgrade from 'sid' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/applications/gazebo.desktop

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: gazebo5
Version: 5.0.1+dfsg-1~exp2
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
'sid' to 'experimental'.
It installed fine in 'sid', then the upgrade to 'experimental' 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#s-replaces

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

  Selecting previously unselected package gazebo5.
  Preparing to unpack .../gazebo5_5.0.1+dfsg-1~exp2_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking gazebo5 (5.0.1+dfsg-1~exp2) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/gazebo5_5.0.1+dfsg-1~exp2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/applications/gazebo.desktop', which is also in package gazebo3 3.0.0+dfsg-3


If the gazeboX{,-doc} packages are not co-installable
there is no need to have the package names versioned.

cheers,

Andreas
