Package: bat
Version: 0.11.0-2
Severity: serious

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install
because it tries to overwrite other packages files.

Since /usr/sbin/bat is already provided by another package, you can't
ship a different binary as /usr/bin/bat.
I noticed this by the clash on the manpage.

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

  Selecting previously unselected package bat.
  Preparing to unpack .../11-bat_0.11.0-2_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking bat (0.11.0-2) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-xqEwrF/11-bat_0.11.0-2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/bat.1.gz', which is also in package bacula-console-qt 9.4.4-2+b1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-xqEwrF/11-bat_0.11.0-2_amd64.deb


cheers,

Andreas
