Bug#790524: gmt: libgenome-perl in sid already provides /usr/bin/gmt

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: gmt
Version: 5.1.2+dfsg1-1~exp4
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
'sid' to 'experimental'.
It installed fine in 'sid', then the upgrade to 'experimental' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation ...

.... which may not be appropriate in this case since the packages
probably provide different functionality. So one must rename the binary
it ships.

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