Bug#768141: geotiff-bin: fails to upgrade from 'wheezy' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/man/man1/listgeo.1.gz

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: geotiff-bin
Version: 1.4.0-4
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
'wheezy'.
It installed fine in 'wheezy', then the upgrade to 'jessie' 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...):

  Selecting previously unselected package geotiff-bin.
  Unpacking geotiff-bin (from .../geotiff-bin_1.4.0-4_amd64.deb) ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/geotiff-bin_1.4.0-4_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/listgeo.1.gz', which is also in package libgeotiff-dev 1.3.0+dfsg-3
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/geotiff-bin_1.4.0-4_amd64.deb


cheers,

Andreas
