[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#655680: haskell-edison-api: fails to upgrade from squeeze - trying to overwrite ...

Source: haskell-edison-api
Version: 1.2.1-15
Severity: serious

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...):

  Selecting previously unselected package libghc-edison-api-doc.
  Unpacking libghc-edison-api-doc (from .../libghc-edison-api-doc_1.2.1-15_all.deb) ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libghc-edison-api-doc_1.2.1-15_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/haskell-edison-api-doc/html/mini_Data-Edison-Coll.html', which is also in package libghc6-edison-api-doc 1.2.1-14

A list of packages with similar problems can be found here:
http://piuparts.debian.org/squeeze2wheezy/overwrite_other_packages_files_error.html

It seems several packages missed to add proper replaces during the
libghc6-* -> libghc-* rename.


cheers,

Andreas
