Package: libcollada-parser1d
Version: 1.12.13-2
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
'stable'.
It installed fine in 'stable', 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

This test intentionally skipped 'testing' to find file overwrite
problems before packages migrate from 'unstable' to 'testing'.

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

  Preparing to unpack .../libcollada-parser1d_1.12.13-2_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking libcollada-parser1d:amd64 (1.12.13-2) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libcollada-parser1d_1.12.13-2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/collada_parser/package.xml', which is also in package libcollada-parser-dev 1.12.6-5
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/libcollada-parser1d_1.12.13-2_amd64.deb


cheers,

Andreas
