Package: libperlx-define-perl
Version: 0.101-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: block -1 with 919650

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#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

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

  Preparing to unpack .../libperlx-define-perl_0.101-2_all.deb ...
  Unpacking libperlx-define-perl (0.101-2) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libperlx-define-perl_0.101-2_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man3/PerlX::Define.3pm.gz', which is also in package libmoops-perl 0.034-1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/libperlx-define-perl_0.101-2_all.deb


libmoops-perl also needs to stop shipping these now duplicated
files (#919650)


cheers,

Andreas
