[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#996427: node-mermaid: ships a copy of /usr/share/nodejs/crypto-random-string/*, already in node-crypto-random-string

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: node-mermaid
Version: 8.13.2+ds+~cs30.13.21-1
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
'stable'.
It installed fine in 'stable', then the upgrade to 'sid' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

This test intentionally skipped 'testing' to find file overwrite
problems before packages migrate from 'unstable' to 'testing'.

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

  Preparing to unpack .../node-mermaid_8.13.2+ds+~cs30.13.21-1_all.deb ...

cheers,
