Bug#561811: fails to install, trying to overwrite other packages files

[Holger Levsen]

Package: grub-linuxbios
Version: 1.98~20091210-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts piuparts.d.o

Hi, 

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install 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...):

  Unpacking grub-coreboot 
(from .../grub-coreboot_1.98~20091210-1_amd64.deb) ...
  dpkg: error 
processing /var/cache/apt/archives/grub-coreboot_1.98~20091210-1_amd64.deb 
(--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/grub/i386-coreboot/ext2.mod', which is also 
in package grub-linuxbios 0:1.96+20080724-16
  dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)


regards,
	Holger
