Bug#657411: libgmerlin0: fails to upgrade from squeeze - trying to overwrite ...

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libgmerlin0
Version: 1.0.0~dfsg-7
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
'squeeze'.
It installed fine in 'squeeze', then the upgrade to 'wheezy' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

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

  Preparing to replace libgmerlin0 0.4.3-2+b1 (using .../libgmerlin0_1.0.0~dfsg-7_amd64.deb) ...
  Unpacking replacement libgmerlin0 ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libgmerlin0_1.0.0~dfsg-7_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/gmerlin/plugin.sym', which is also in package gmerlin-data 0.4.3-2


cheers,

Andreas
