Package: coreutils
Version: 8.20-1
Severity: serious

Control: affects -1 + bootcd

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'testing'.
It installed fine in 'testing', 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
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

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

  Preparing to replace coreutils 8.13-3.2 (using 
.../coreutils_8.20-1_amd64.deb) ...
  Unpacking replacement coreutils ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/coreutils_8.20-1_amd64.deb 
(--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/realpath.1.gz', which is also in 
package realpath 1.17
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/coreutils_8.20-1_amd64.deb

cheers,

Andreas
