Bug#841507: libjfreechart-java-doc: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - ships /usr/share/doc/libjfreechart-java/NEWS.gz

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libjfreechart-java-doc
Version: 1.0.19-1
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
'testing'.
It installed fine in 'testing', then the upgrade to 'sid' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files at a location where
IMO it shouldn't ship a file at all.

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

  Selecting previously unselected package libjfreechart-java-doc.
  Preparing to unpack .../1-libjfreechart-java-doc_1.0.19-1_all.deb ...

cheers,
