Bug#706764: assaultcube-data: fails to upgrade from squeeze - trying to overwrite /usr/share/man/man6/assaultcube-server.6.gz

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: assaultcube-data
Version: 1.1.0.4+repack1-2
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
'squeeze'.
It installed fine in 'squeeze', then the upgrade to 'wheezy' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

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

  Preparing to replace assaultcube-data 1.0.4+repack1-1 (using .../assaultcube-data_1.1.0.4+repack1-2_all.deb) ...

Adding

  Breaks: assaultcube (<< 1.1.0.4+dfsg2-1)
  Replaces: assaultcube (<< 1.1.0.4+dfsg2-1)

should fix this issue.


cheers,

Andreas
