[Debichem-devel] Bug#949774: votca-tools: missing Breaks+Replaces: libvotca-tools-dev (<< 1.6~)

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: votca-tools
Version: 1.6~rc1-1
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
'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 .../votca-tools_1.6~rc1-1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking votca-tools (1.6~rc1-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/votca-tools_1.6~rc1-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/votca_property.1.gz', which is also in package libvotca-tools-dev 1.5.1-1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/votca-tools_1.6~rc1-1_amd64.deb


cheers,

Andreas
