Bug#864547: gamine-data: fails to upgrade from 'jessie' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/man/man6/gamine.6.gz

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: gamine-data
Version: 1.5-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: affects -1 + junior-art

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'jessie'.
It installed fine in 'jessie', then the upgrade to 'stretch' 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

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

  Preparing to unpack .../gamine-data_1.5-1_all.deb ...
  Unpacking gamine-data (1.5-1) over (1.1-3) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/gamine-data_1.5-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man6/gamine.6.gz', which is also in package gamine 1.1-3
