Bug#562582: fails to install, trying to overwrite other packages files

[Holger Levsen]

Package: squidtaild
Version: 2.1a6-5.4
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts piuparts.d.o
x-debbugs-cc: libconfigreader-simple-perl at packages.debian.org

Hi, 

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install because 
it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a 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...):

  Unpacking libconfigreader-simple-perl 
(from .../libconfigreader-simple-perl_1.28-1_all.deb) ...
  dpkg: error 
processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libconfigreader-simple-perl_1.28-1_all.deb

  Errors were encountered while processing:

  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
