Bug#817189: gazebo7-doc: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/doc-base/gazebo

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: gazebo7-doc
Version: 7.0.0+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
'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 gazebo7-doc.
  Preparing to unpack .../gazebo7-doc_7.0.0+dfsg-1_all.deb ...

   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc-base/gazebo', which is also in package gazebo6-doc 6.5.0+dfsg-2
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:

cheers,

Andreas
