Bug#804942: megaglest: fails to upgrade from 'jessie' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/games/megaglest/glest.ini

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: megaglest
Version: 3.11.1-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: affects -1 + games-strategy

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'jessie'.
It installed fine in 'jessie', then the upgrade to 'stretch' 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...):

  Preparing to unpack .../megaglest_3.11.1-2+b1_i386.deb ...
  Unpacking megaglest (3.11.1-2+b1) over (3.9.1-3) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/megaglest_3.11.1-2+b1_i386.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/games/megaglest/glest.ini', which is also in package megaglest-data 3.9.1+ds-1
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)


cheers,

Andreas
