[Pkg-gridengine-devel] Bug#657413: gridengine-common: fails to upgrade from squeeze - trying to overwrite ...

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: gridengine-common
Version: 6.2u5-4
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
'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...):

  Preparing to replace gridengine-common 6.2u5-1 (using .../gridengine-common_6.2u5-4_all.deb) ...
  Unpacking replacement gridengine-common ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/gridengine-common_6.2u5-4_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/gridengine/qlogin-wrapper', which is also in package gridengine-client 6.2u5-1
  configured to not write apport reports
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  postinst called with unknown argument `abort-upgrade'
  dpkg: error while cleaning up:
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1


cheers,

Andreas
