[Pkg-ime-devel] Bug#582000: fails to install, trying to overwrite other packages files

[Holger Levsen]

Package: ibus-table-latex
Version: 1.2.0.20100305-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts piuparts.d.o

Hi, 

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install 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 deselected package ibus-table-latex.
  (Reading database ... 11493 files and directories currently installed.)
  Unpacking ibus-table-latex 
(from .../ibus-table-latex_1.2.0.20100305-1_all.deb) ...
  dpkg: error 
processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ibus-table-latex_1.2.0.20100305-1_all.deb 
(--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/ibus-table/icons/latex.svg', which is also 
in package ibus-table 1.2.0.20100111-1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/ibus-table-latex_1.2.0.20100305-1_all.deb
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


regards,
	Holger
