[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#666239: libboost-timer1.49-dev: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - trying to overwrite /usr/lib/libboost_timer.a

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libboost-timer1.49-dev
Version: 1.49.0-1
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...):

  Selecting previously unselected package libboost-timer1.49-dev.
  Unpacking libboost-timer1.49-dev (from .../libboost-timer1.49-dev_1.49.0-1_amd64.deb) ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libboost-timer1.49-dev_1.49.0-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libboost_timer.a', which is also in package libboost-timer1.48-dev 1.48.0-3


cheers,

Andreas
