Package: tk8.5-doc
Version: 8.5.14-5
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
'sid' to 'experimental'.
It installed fine in 'sid', then the upgrade to 'experimental' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

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

  Selecting previously unselected package tk8.5-doc.
  Unpacking tk8.5-doc (from .../tk8.5-doc_8.5.14-5_all.deb) ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/tk8.5-doc_8.5.14-5_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/tcltk/tk8.5/demos', which is also in package tk8.5 8.5.14-2
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/tk8.5-doc_8.5.14-5_all.deb


cheers,

Andreas
