Package: ruby-gnome-dev
Version: 3.3.8-1
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
'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/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

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

  Preparing to unpack .../ruby-gnome-dev_3.3.8-1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking ruby-gnome-dev:amd64 (3.3.8-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/ruby-gnome-dev_3.3.8-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/glib-mkenums.rb', which is also in package ruby-gnome2-dev:amd64 3.3.7-2
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/ruby-gnome-dev_3.3.8-1_amd64.deb


cheers,

Andreas
