Package: cyrus-sasl2-heimdal-dbg
Version: 2.1.23.dfsg1-1
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 cyrus-sasl2-heimdal-dbg 
(from .../cyrus-sasl2-heimdal-dbg_2.1.23.dfsg1-1_amd64.deb) ...
  Adding `diversion of /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/sasl2/libgssapiv2.so.2.0.22 
to /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/sasl2/libgssapiv2.so.2.0.22.mit by 
cyrus-sasl2-heimdal-dbg'
  dpkg: error

(--unpack):

which is also in package cyrus-sasl2-dbg
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/cyrus-sasl2-heimdal-dbg_2.1.23.dfsg1-1_amd64.deb
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
