Bug#813177: libconsole-bridge0.2v5: fails to upgrade from 'jessie' - trying to overwrite /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libconsole_bridge.so.0.2

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libconsole-bridge0.2v5
Version: 0.3.0-3
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: affects -1 + libconsole-bridge-dev

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'jessie'.
It installed fine in 'jessie', 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
