Bug#888271: libpanel-applet-dev, libpanel-applet-doc: both ship /usr/share/doc/libpanel-applet-dev/AUTHORS

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libpanel-applet-dev,libpanel-applet-doc
Version: 3.26.0-3
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
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

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

  Selecting previously unselected package libpanel-applet-doc.
  Preparing to unpack .../libpanel-applet-doc_3.26.0-3_all.deb ...
  Unpacking libpanel-applet-doc (3.26.0-3) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libpanel-applet-doc_3.26.0-3_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/libpanel-applet-dev/AUTHORS', which is also in package libpanel-applet-dev 3.26.0-3
  dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/libpanel-applet-doc_3.26.0-3_all.deb

This could be an effect of dh_installdocs in debhelper compat 11.


cheers,

Andreas
