Package: libplplotada5-dev
Version: 5.15.0+dfsg2-5
Severity: serious
Justification: dpkg unpack error

Attempting to unpack libplplotada5-dev/5.15.0+dfsg2-5 from Debian bookworm
on a minimal Debian bullseye with libplplotada3-dev/5.15.0+dfsg-19
installed, causes an unpack error from dpkg due to
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ada/adalib/plplotada/plplot_auxiliary.ali being contained in both packages.

| Selecting previously unselected package libplplotada5-dev.
| (Reading database ... 11872 files and directories currently installed.)
| Preparing to unpack .../libplplotada5-dev_5.15.0+dfsg2-5_amd64.deb ...

|  trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ada/adalib/plplotada/plplot_auxiliary.ali', which is also in package libplplotada3-dev 5.15.0+dfsg-19
| dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
| Errors were encountered while processing:
|  ./libplplotada5-dev_5.15.0+dfsg2-5_amd64.deb


Please ensure that libplplotada5-dev has sufficient Breaks and Replaces declarations.
