[pkg-db-devel] Bug#720040: libdb6.0-java: file conflicts with libdb5.[13]-java: /usr/share/java/db.jar

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libdb6.0-java
Version: 6.0.19-3
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
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

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