Package: libdogleg-dev
Version: 0.16-2
Severity: serious

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 .../libdogleg-dev_0.16-2_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking libdogleg-dev:amd64 (0.16-2) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libdogleg-dev_0.16-2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man3/libdogleg.3.gz', which is also in package libdogleg-doc 0.15.4-2
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libdogleg-dev_0.16-2_amd64.deb
And you still have a Depends on the no longer built libdogleg-doc
cheers,
Andreas
