Package: ser-radius-modules
Version: 2.0.0-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts piuparts.d.o

Hi, 

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install 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...):

  Unpacking ser-radius-modules 
(from .../ser-radius-modules_2.0.0-1_amd64.deb) ...
  dpkg: error 
processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ser-radius-modules_2.0.0-1_amd64.deb 
(--unpack):
   trying to overwrite `/etc/ser/dictionary.ser', which is also in package ser
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/ser-radius-modules_2.0.0-1_amd64.deb
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


regards,
	Holger
