Bug#1131853: libscotchparmetis-dev: trying to overwrite libptscotchparmetisv3.so, which is also in package libptscotch-dev (7.0.7-1)

[Marc Glisse]

Package: libscotchparmetis-dev
Version: 7.0.11-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

during an upgrade, I got

Preparing to unpack …/284-libscotchparmetis-dev_7.0.11-1_amd64.deb…^M
Unpacking libscotchparmetis-dev:amd64 (7.0.11-1) over (7.0.7-1)…^M

Unpacking libptscotch-dev:amd64 (7.0.11-1) over (7.0.7-1)…^M

This was fixed in the next apt -f install (or similar), but it looks
like the package is missing the usual break/replace fields to advertise
that a file moved and the upgrades needs to happen in a certain order.
