Bug#709152: vdr-plugin-{dvbhddevice, examples}: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/locale/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/vdr-*.mo

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: vdr-plugin-dvbhddevice,vdr-plugin-examples
Version: 2.0.1-2
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
'testing'.
It installed fine in 'testing', 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
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

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

So these two (perhaps more) packages need an appropriately versioned

  Breaks: vdr (<< ???)
  Replaces: vdr (<< ???)


cheers,
