[Pkg-security-team] Bug#827837: python3-binwalk: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - trying to overwrite /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/binwalk/__init__.py

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: python3-binwalk
Version: 2.1.1-7
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
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

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

  Selecting previously unselected package python3-binwalk.
  Preparing to unpack .../python3-binwalk_2.1.1-7_all.deb ...
  Unpacking python3-binwalk (2.1.1-7) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-binwalk_2.1.1-7_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/binwalk/__init__.py', which is also in package binwalk 2.1.1-6
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-binwalk_2.1.1-7_all.deb

cheers,

Andreas
