Package: liblapack-doc
Version: 3.12.0-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

But I doubt that it's lapack's job to provide that manpage and
therefore adding B+R wouldn't be a correct solution.
So the manpage in lapack probably needs to be renamed.

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

  Preparing to unpack .../liblapack-doc_3.12.0-1_all.deb ...
  Unpacking liblapack-doc (3.12.0-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/liblapack-doc_3.12.0-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man3/isnan.3.gz', which is also in package manpages-dev 6.03-2
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/liblapack-doc_3.12.0-1_all.deb


cheers,

Andreas
