Bug#898380: libreadline-java-doc: fails to upgrade from 'stretch' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/doc/libreadline-java/NEWS.gz

[Andreas Beckmann]

Followup-For: Bug #898380
Control: found -1 0.8.0.1+dfsg-8

Hi,

the story continues with more file conflicts:

  Selecting previously unselected package libreadline-java-doc.
  Preparing to unpack .../libreadline-java-doc_0.8.0.1+dfsg-8_all.deb ...
  Unpacking libreadline-java-doc (0.8.0.1+dfsg-8) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libreadline-java-doc_0.8.0.1+dfsg-8_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/libreadline-java/README', which is also in package libreadline-java 0.8.0.1+dfsg-5
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/libreadline-java-doc_0.8.0.1+dfsg-8_all.deb

These files seem to be affected as well:

  usr/share/doc/libreadline-java/README
  usr/share/doc/libreadline-java/README.1st
  usr/share/doc/libreadline-java/TODO


This is most likely caused by a behavioral change of dh_installdocs
in debhelper compat level 11.
