[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#768114: hhsuite-doc: fails to upgrade from 'wheezy' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/doc-base/hhsuite

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: hhsuite-doc
Version: 2.0.16-3
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 'wheezy', then the upgrade to 'jessie' 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 hhsuite-doc.
  Unpacking hhsuite-doc (from .../hhsuite-doc_2.0.16-3_all.deb) ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/hhsuite-doc_2.0.16-3_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc-base/hhsuite', which is also in package hhsuite 2.0.15-1
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/hhsuite-doc_2.0.16-3_all.deb


cheers,

Andreas
