Bug#679705: supercollider-common: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/SuperCollider/Extensions/README

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: supercollider,supercollider-common
Version: 1:3.5.2-1
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
'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
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces
