[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#657055: haskell-hsql-postgresql-doc: fails to upgrade from squeeze - trying to overwrite ...

[Holger Levsen]

Package: haskell-hsql-postgresql-doc
Version: 1:6
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...):

doc_1.8.1-1_all.deb) ...

Similar bugs affect _a lot_ of haskell-*-doc packages, please have a look at
