[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#806146: libicinga2: fails to upgrade from 'jessie' - trying to overwrite /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/icinga2/libremote.so

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libicinga2
Version: 2.4.0-1
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 'stretch' 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 libicinga2.
  Preparing to unpack .../libicinga2_2.4.0-1_amd64.deb ...
