Bug#748237: python3-epr-dbg: fails to upgrade from wheezy - trying to overwrite ...

[Holger Levsen]

Package: python3-epr-dbg
Version: 0.8.1-1+b1
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 squeeze, then the upgrade to jessie fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
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...):

  Preparing to unpack .../python3-epr_0.8.1-1+b1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking python3-epr (0.8.1-1+b1) over (0.6.1-2) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-
epr_0.8.1-1+b1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/epr.cpython-33dm-
x86_64-linux-gnu.so', which is also in package python3-epr-dbg 0.8.1-1+b1
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)


cheers,
	Holger
