[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#767616: lyx: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/lyx.png

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: lyx
Version: 2.1.2-3
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...):
