Hi,

automatic installation tests of packages that share a file and at the
same time do not conflict by their package dependency relationships have
detected that libfiu-dev does produce file overwrite errors when installing
together with other packages. Here is what happends when trying to install
it with make:

Selecting previously unselected package libfiu0.
(Reading database ... 11003 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../libfiu0_0.95-3+b1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking libfiu0 (0.95-3+b1) ...

dpkg: error processing archive

 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man3/history.3readline.gz', which is also 
in package readline-common 7.0-3
Selecting previously unselected package make.
Preparing to unpack .../make_4.1-9.1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking make (4.1-9.1) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.24-12) ...
Processing triggers for man-db (2.7.6.1-2) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libfiu-dev_0.95-3+b1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This is a serious bug as it makes installation fail, and violates
sections 7.6.1 and 10.1 of the policy. A list of all packages with which
libfiu-dev clashes will follow.
