[Python-apps-team] Bug#714891: veusz-helpers: fails to upgrade from wheezy - trying to overwrite /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/veusz/resources

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: veusz,veusz-helpers
Version: 1.15-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'wheezy'.
It installed fine in 'wheezy', then the upgrade to 'jessie' 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...):

  Preparing to replace veusz-helpers 1.15-1+b1 (using .../veusz-helpers_1.15-1+b3_amd64.deb) ...
  Unpacking replacement veusz-helpers ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/veusz-helpers_1.15-1+b3_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/veusz/resources', which is also in package veusz 1.15-1


cheers,

Andreas
