[Syslog-ng-maintainers] Bug#847708: syslog-ng-mod-json: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/syslog-ng/include/scl/cim/template.conf

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: syslog-ng-mod-json
Version: 3.8.1-7
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 syslog-ng-mod-json.

   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/syslog-ng/include/scl/cim/template.conf', which is also in package syslog-ng-core 3.8.1-6
  Errors were encountered while processing:

cheers,

Andreas
