Package: python3-dijitso
Version: 2018.1.0-1exp1
Severity: serious

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'sid' to 'experimental'.
It installed fine in 'sid', then the upgrade to 'experimental' 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 python3-dijitso.

   trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/dijitso', which is also in package python-dijitso 2017.2.0.0-2
  Errors were encountered while processing:

cheers,

Andreas
