Package: libpqxx-6.2
Version: 6.2.4-3
Severity: serious

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
the previous version in sid,
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/#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

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

  Selecting previously unselected package libpqxx-6.2.
  Preparing to unpack .../libpqxx-6.2_6.2.4-3_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking libpqxx-6.2 (6.2.4-3) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive 
/var/cache/apt/archives/libpqxx-6.2_6.2.4-3_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpqxx-6.2.so', which is 
also in package libpqxx6 6.2.4-2
  dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/libpqxx-6.2_6.2.4-3_amd64.deb


The suggested versioning "(>= 6.2)" is unusual, but intended,
since libpqxx-6.2 is co-installable with libpqxx6 (6.1.0-1) in testing.


cheers,

Andreas
