Package: yate-qt4
Version: 4.0.0-1~dfsg-1
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
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...):

  Preparing to replace yate-qt4 2.2.0-1~dfsg-1.2 (using .../yate-qt4_4.0.0-1~dfsg-1_amd64.deb) ...
  Unpacking replacement yate-qt4 ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/yate-qt4_4.0.0-1~dfsg-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/etc/yate/providers.conf', which is also in package yate-core 2.2.0-1~dfsg-1.2


cheers,

Andreas
