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
>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):
Selecting previously unselected package gnuplot.
Preparing to unpack .../gnuplot_5.0.5+dfsg1-3_all.deb ...
Unpacking gnuplot (5.0.5+dfsg1-3) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/gnuplot_5.0.5+dfsg1-3_all.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/info/gnuplot.info.gz', which is also in package gnuplot-doc 4.6.6-2
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/gnuplot_5.0.5+dfsg1-3_all.deb
Shouldn't gnuplot.info better be in gnuplot-doc?
But if you move it, don't forget to add in gnuplot-doc
Breaks+Replaces: gnuplot (<< 5.0.5+dfsg1-4~)
cheers,
Andreas
