Package: opencity-data
Version: 0.0.6.1stable-3
Severity: serious

Hi,

it looks like you are missing a versioned Replaces on the previously
unsplit opencity version:

Selecting previously deselected package opencity-data.
Unpacking opencity-data (from .../opencity-data_0.0.6.1stable-3_all.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/opencity-data_0.0.6.1stable-3_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/share/games/doc/opencity/COPYRIGHT', which is also in package opencity
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Preparing to replace opencity 0.0.5.1stable-1 (using .../opencity_0.0.6.1stable-3_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement opencity ...
dpkg: warning - unable to delete old directory `/etc/opencity/config': Directory not empty
dpkg: warning - unable to delete old directory `/etc/opencity': Directory not empty

After unpacking the new opencity opencity-data becomes installable.
You need to add a 'Replaces: opencity (<< 0.0.6~)' or something.
