Package: eyes17
Version: 4.6.2-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'stable'.
It installed fine in 'stable', then the upgrade to 'sid' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

This test intentionally skipped 'testing' to find file overwrite
problems before packages migrate from 'unstable' to 'testing'.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Preparing to unpack .../eyes17_4.6.2-1_all.deb ...
  Unpacking eyes17 (4.6.2-1) ...

   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/eyes17/Peripherals.py', 
which is also in package python3-expeyes 4.4.4+dfsg-4
  dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/eyes17_4.6.2-1_all.deb

4.6.1-2 was the version that shuffled the modules around according
to the changelog.


cheers,

Andreas
