Package: libfplll8-data
Version: 5.4.4-1

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.
This error may also be triggered by having a predecessor package from
'sid' installed while installing the package from 'experimental'.

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

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

  Preparing to unpack .../libfplll8-data_5.4.4-1_all.deb ...
  Unpacking libfplll8-data (5.4.4-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive 
/var/cache/apt/archives/libfplll8-data_5.4.4-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/libfplll8/strategies/default.json', which is 
also in package libfplll7-data 5.4.3-2
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/libfplll8-data_5.4.4-1_all.deb

The (>= 5.4.3) is unusual but correct in this case since libfplll7-data
5.4.3-1 moved a file to a libfplll8 path without renaming the package.
Thus libfplll8-data should be co-installable with older (non-buggy)
versions of libfplll7-data.

cheers,

Andreas
