Bug#792549: libecm0-dev-common: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - trying to overwrite /usr/include/ecm.h

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libecm0-dev-common
Version: 6.4.4+ds-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
'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
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

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

  Selecting previously unselected package libecm0-dev-common.
  Preparing to unpack .../libecm0-dev-common_6.4.4+ds-1_all.deb ...
  Unpacking libecm0-dev-common (6.4.4+ds-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libecm0-dev-common_6.4.4+ds-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/include/ecm.h', which is also in package libecm-dev 6.4.4-2
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/libecm0-dev-common_6.4.4+ds-1_all.deb


cheers,

Andreas
