Bug#657410: libcheese-dev: fails to upgrade from squeeze - trying to overwrite ...

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libcheese-dev
Version: 3.2.2-1+b1
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
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...):

  Selecting previously unselected package libcheese-dev.
  Unpacking libcheese-dev (from .../libcheese-dev_3.2.2-1+b1_amd64.deb) ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libcheese-dev_3.2.2-1+b1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/include/cheese/cheese-camera-device-monitor.h', which is also in package libcheese-gtk-dev 2.30.1-2


cheers,

Andreas
