Bug#734905: thuban-doc: fails to upgrade from 'wheezy' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/doc-base/thuban

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: thuban-doc
Version: 1.2.2-4
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
'wheezy'.
It installed fine in 'wheezy', then the upgrade to 'jessie' 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...):

  Selecting previously unselected package thuban-doc.
  Unpacking thuban-doc (from .../thuban-doc_1.2.2-4_all.deb) ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/thuban-doc_1.2.2-4_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc-base/thuban', which is also in package thuban 1.2.2-3+b1

List of shared files:

  usr/share/doc-base/thuban
  usr/share/doc-base/thuban.de


cheers,

Andreas
