[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#947373: python3-guestfs: missing Breaks+Replaces: python-guestfs

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: python3-guestfs
Version: 1:1.40.2-3
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 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

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

  Preparing to unpack .../python3-guestfs_1%3a1.40.2-4_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking python3-guestfs (1:1.40.2-4) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-guestfs_1%3a1.40.2-4_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/ja/man3/guestfs-python.3.gz', which is also in package python-guestfs 1:1.40.2-2+b12
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-guestfs_1%3a1.40.2-4_amd64.deb


cheers,

Andreas
