Bug#1064067: libdemeter-perl: ships perl modules already packaged separately as libxray-scattering-perl, libxray-absorption-perl

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libdemeter-perl
Version: 0.9.27+ds6-1
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.

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

  Preparing to unpack .../libdemeter-perl_0.9.27+ds6-1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking libdemeter-perl (0.9.27+ds6-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libdemeter-perl_0.9.27+ds6-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/perl5/Xray/Absorption/CL.pm', which is also in package libxray-absorption-perl 3.0.1-4
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/libdemeter-perl_0.9.27+ds6-1_amd64.deb

Why does the package have to ship its own Ifeffit.pm ? Anyway, the
Replaces against libifeffit-perl are missing corresponding Breaks.
But I'm not convinced that Breaks+Replaces is the correct solution here.


cheers,

Andreas
