[Debichem-devel] Bug#921665: libvotca-tools-dev: missing Breaks+Replaces: libvotca-tools3

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libvotca-tools-dev
Version: 1.5-1
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
'stable'.
It installed fine in 'stable', 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

This test intentionally skipped 'testing' to find file overwrite
problems before packages migrate from 'unstable' to 'testing'.

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

  Preparing to unpack .../7-libvotca-tools-dev_1.5-1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking libvotca-tools-dev (1.5-1) over (1.3.0-2+b2) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-IVprNZ/7-libvotca-tools-dev_1.5-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/votca_property.1.gz', which is also in package libvotca-tools3 1.3.0-2+b2
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-IVprNZ/7-libvotca-tools-dev_1.5-1_amd64.deb


cheers,

Andreas
