[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#987209: libwbclient-dev: missing Breaks+Replaces: samba-dev (<< 2:4.11)

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libwbclient-dev
Version: 2:4.13.5+dfsg-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: affects -1 + samba-dev

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
