[pkg-db-devel] Bug#728165: lmdb-doc: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/man/man3/mdb_node.3.gz

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: lmdb-doc
Version: 0.9.9-1
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
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...):

  Selecting previously unselected package lmdb-doc.
  Unpacking lmdb-doc (from .../lmdb-doc_0.9.9-1_all.deb) ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/lmdb-doc_0.9.9-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man3/mdb_node.3.gz', which is also in package liblmdb-dev:amd64 0.9.7-1
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/lmdb-doc_0.9.9-1_all.deb


cheers,

Andreas
