[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#706932: lib64expat1-dev: file conflict with libexpat1-dev: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/expat.pc

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: lib64expat1-dev
Version: 2.1.0-1
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.

See policy 7.6 at
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

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

  Preparing to replace lib64expat1-dev 2.0.1-7+squeeze1 (using .../lib64expat1-dev_2.1.0-1_i386.deb) ...
  Unpacking replacement lib64expat1-dev ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/lib64expat1-dev_2.1.0-1_i386.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/expat.pc', which is also in package libexpat1-dev 2.1.0-1
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)


cheers,

Andreas
