[Debichem-devel] Bug#921664: libvotca-csg-dev: missing Breaks+Replaces: libvotca-csg3

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libvotca-csg-dev
Version: 1.5-2
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/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

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

  Preparing to unpack .../14-libvotca-csg-dev_1.5-2_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking libvotca-csg-dev (1.5-2) over (1.3.0-3+b1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-1j5kMj/14-libvotca-csg-dev_1.5-2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man7/votca-csg.7.gz', which is also in package libvotca-csg3 1.3.0-3+b1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-1j5kMj/14-libvotca-csg-dev_1.5-2_amd64.deb



cheers,

Andreas
