[Pkg-pascal-devel] Bug#886859: fp-utils-3.0.4: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/man/man1/grab_vcsa-3.0.4.1.gz

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: fp-utils-3.0.4
Version: 3.0.4+dfsg-12
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
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

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

   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/grab_vcsa-3.0.4.1.gz', which is also in package fp-compiler-3.0.4:amd64 3.0.4+dfsg-11
  Errors were encountered while processing:

cheers,
