[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#981579: sq: missing Breaks+Replaces: ispell (<< 3.4.00-6.1~)

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: sq
Version: 0.24.0-2
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
'stable'.
It installed fine in 'stable', 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

This test intentionally skipped 'testing' to find file overwrite
problems before packages migrate from 'unstable' to 'testing'.

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

  Preparing to unpack .../archives/sq_0.24.0-2_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking sq (0.24.0-2) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/sq_0.24.0-2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/sq', which is also in package ispell 3.4.00-6+b1
  dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/sq_0.24.0-2_amd64.deb

ispell used to ship a sq binary, that was dropped in 3.4.00-6.1


cheers,

Andreas
