[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#788992: nova-compute-ironic: fails to upgrade from 'jessie' - trying to overwrite /etc/nova/nova-compute.conf

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: nova-compute-ironic
Version: 2015.1.0-6
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
'jessie'.
It installed fine in 'jessie', 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#s-replaces
