Bug#946436: libplplot-data: missing Breaks+Replaces: libplplot17 (<< 5.15.0+dfsg-8)

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libplplot-data
Version: 5.15.0+dfsg-8
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#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

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

  Preparing to unpack .../libplplot-data_5.15.0+dfsg-8_all.deb ...
  Unpacking libplplot-data (5.15.0+dfsg-8) ...

cheers,
