Package: libservlet2.5-java
Version: 6.0.35-2
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
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 libservlet2.5-java.
  Unpacking libservlet2.5-java (from .../libservlet2.5-java_6.0.35-2_all.deb) ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libservlet2.5-java_6.0.35-2_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/maven-repo/javax/servlet/servlet-api/debian/servlet-api-debian.pom', which is also in package libservlet2.4-java 5.5.33-1


cheers,

Andreas
