Bug#1037924: systemd-dev: missing Breaks+Replaces: udev (<< 253-2~)

Package: systemd-dev
Version: 253-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install
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 .../systemd-dev_253-2_all.deb ...
  Unpacking systemd-dev (253-2) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/systemd-dev_253-2_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/pkgconfig/udev.pc', which is also in package udev 252.11-1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/systemd-dev_253-2_all.deb


cheers,

Andreas
