Package: python-liblo-docs
Version: 0.9.1-3
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
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

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

  Selecting previously unselected package python-liblo-docs.
  Unpacking python-liblo-docs (from .../python-liblo-docs_0.9.1-3_all.deb) ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/python-liblo-docs_0.9.1-3_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc-base/python-liblo', which is also in package python-liblo 0.9.1-2+b1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/python-liblo-docs_0.9.1-3_all.deb


cheers,

Andreas
