[Python-modules-team] Bug#947673: python3-pynvim: missing Breaks+Replaces: python3-neovim

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: python3-pynvim
Version: 0.4.0-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install
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#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

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

  Preparing to unpack .../python3-pynvim_0.4.0-2_all.deb ...
  Unpacking python3-pynvim (0.4.0-2) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-pynvim_0.4.0-2_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/neovim/__init__.py', which is also in package python3-neovim 0.3.0-1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-pynvim_0.4.0-2_all.deb


cheers,

Andreas
