[pkg-golang-devel] Bug#810595: golang-go: missing Breaks on all the packages it Replaces

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: golang-go
Version: 2:1.5.1-4
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts replaces-without-breaks

Hi,

during a test with piuparts and DOSE tools I noticed your package causes
removal of files that also belong to another package.
This is caused by using Replaces without corresponding Breaks.

This is a serious bug violating policy 7.6, see
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces
and also see the footnote that describes this incorrect behavior
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/footnotes.html#f53
