[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#880902: zfs-test: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/zfs/common.sh

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: zfs-test
Version: 0.7.3-1
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
Breaks+Replaces relation.

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

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

  Selecting previously unselected package zfs-test.
  Preparing to unpack .../38-zfs-test_0.7.3-1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking zfs-test (0.7.3-1) ...

   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/zfs/common.sh', which is also in package zfsutils-linux 0.6.5.11-1
  dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:

cheers,

Andreas
