[debian-mysql] Bug#880892: mariadb-plugin-cracklib-password-check-10.2: fails to install, trying to overwrite /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/cracklib_password_check.cnf

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: mariadb-plugin-cracklib-password-check-10.2
Version: 10.2.7-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

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 mariadb-plugin-cracklib-password-check-10.2.
  Preparing to unpack .../mariadb-plugin-cracklib-password-check-10.2_10.2.7-1_amd64.deb ...

   trying to overwrite '/etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/cracklib_password_check.cnf', which is also in package mariadb-plugin-cracklib-password-check 10.1.28-1
  Errors were encountered while processing:

cheers,
