Bug#920733: freedink: missing Breaks+Replaces: freedink-engine (<< 109.4)

[beuc at debian.org]

Hi,

Would you mind detailing how you invoke piuparts so it gives that error?
I've been running it for an hour and I only get successes (or false
positives about font dirs that I skipped with
--warn-on-leftovers-after-purge).
The logs you provide apparently initializes a server by installing
"hello" and running then seem to do special tests that are different
from e.g. https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/f/freedink.html .

This, so I can thoroughly reproduce the bug(s) and test my fixes (unless
you have a working patch, that is).
