Bug#768216: libgeographic-dev: fails to upgrade from 'wheezy' - trying to overwrite /usr/include/GeographicLib/TransverseMercatorExact.hpp

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libgeographic-dev
Version: 1.37-2
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 libgeographic13.
  Unpacking libgeographic13 (from .../libgeographic13_1.37-2_amd64.deb) ...

cheers,

Andreas
