Package: quantum-espresso-data
Version: 6.3-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

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/#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

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

  Preparing to unpack .../quantum-espresso-data_6.3-2_all.deb ...
  Unpacking quantum-espresso-data (6.3-2) ...

   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc-base/quantum-espresso', which is also in package quantum-espresso 6.0-3.1+b1
  dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:

cheers,

Andreas
