[Python-modules-team] Bug#726754: python-sphinx: fails to upgrade from 'sid' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/pyshared/tests/test_i18n.py

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: python-sphinx
Version: 1.2~b3+dfsg-1
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
'sid' to 'experimental'.
It installed fine in 'sid', then the upgrade to 'experimental' 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 python-sphinx.
  Unpacking python-sphinx (from .../python-sphinx_1.2~b3+dfsg-1_all.deb) ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/python-sphinx_1.2~b3+dfsg-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/pyshared/tests/test_i18n.py', which is also in package python-turbogears2 2.1.5-2
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/python-sphinx_1.2~b3+dfsg-1_all.deb

test_i18n.py sounds like a very generic name with high collision potential


cheers,

Andreas
