Bug#888556: libetsf-io-doc: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/doc/libetsf-io-dev/AUTHORS

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libetsf-io-doc
Version: 1.0.4-2
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/#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

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

  Selecting previously unselected package libetsf-io-doc.
  Preparing to unpack .../libetsf-io-doc_1.0.4-2_all.deb ...
  Unpacking libetsf-io-doc (1.0.4-2) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libetsf-io-doc_1.0.4-2_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/libetsf-io-dev/AUTHORS', which is also in package libetsf-io-dev 1.0.4-1.1+b3
  dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/libetsf-io-doc_1.0.4-2_all.deb

This is probably caused by a dh_installdocs behavior change in
debhelper compat level 11.


cheers,

Andreas
