Version: 6.9.5-1
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/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

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

  Preparing to unpack .../libdart-external-odelcpsolver6_6.9.5-1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking libdart-external-odelcpsolver6:amd64 (6.9.5-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libdart-external-odelcpsolver6_6.9.5-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdart-external-odelcpsolver.so.6', which is also in package libdart6-external-odelcpsolver:amd64 6.9.2-3+b1
  Preparing to unpack .../libdart6_6.9.5-1_amd64.deb ...

This affects all libdart-*6 packages, each needs Breaks+Replaces against
its respective badly named predecessor libdart6-*.


cheers,

Andreas
