Bug#728447: python-gst-1.0-dbg: fails to install, trying to overwrite other packages files: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/_gi_gst.so

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: python-gst-1.0-dbg
Version: 1.1.90-1
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...):

  Selecting previously unselected package python-gst-1.0-dbg.
  (Reading database ... 7992 files and directories currently installed.)
  Unpacking python-gst-1.0-dbg (from .../python-gst-1.0-dbg_1.1.90-1_amd64.deb) ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/python-gst-1.0-dbg_1.1.90-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/_gi_gst.so', which is also in package python-gst-1.0 1.1.90-1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/python-gst-1.0-dbg_1.1.90-1_amd64.deb

cheers,

Andreas
