Package: python-caja
Version: 1.10.0-1~exp1
Severity: serious

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install
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#s-replaces

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

  Selecting previously unselected package python-caja.
  (Reading database ... 9909 files and directories currently installed.)
  Preparing to unpack .../python-caja_1.10.0-1~exp1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking python-caja (1.10.0-1~exp1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/python-caja_1.10.0-1~exp1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/caja-python/class-caja-python-location-widget-provider.html', which is also in package python-caja-common 1.10.0-1~exp1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/python-caja_1.10.0-1~exp1_amd64.deb


cheers,

Andreas
