[DRE-maint] Bug#974046: ruby-launchy: missing Breaks+Replaces: launchy

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: ruby-launchy
Version: 2.5.0-2
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
'buster'.
It installed fine in 'buster', then the upgrade to 'bullseye' 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-launchy_2.5.0-2_all.deb ...
  Unpacking ruby-launchy (2.5.0-2) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/ruby-launchy_2.5.0-2_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/launchy', which is also in package launchy 2.5-4
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/ruby-launchy_2.5.0-2_all.deb

The launchy package last existed in buster, it is gone from sid.


cheers,

Andreas
