Bug#825733: mate-applets-common: fails to upgrade from 'jessie' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.mate.panel.applet.NetspeedAppletFactory.service

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: mate-applets-common
Version: 1.14.0-1
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
'jessie'.
It installed fine in 'jessie', 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#s-replaces

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

  Selecting previously unselected package mate-applets-common.
  Preparing to unpack .../mate-applets-common_1.14.0-1_all.deb ...

   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.mate.panel.applet.NetspeedAppletFactory.service', which is also in package mate-netspeed 1.8.0+dfsg1-2
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)


cheers,

Andreas
