Package: scotch Version: 6.0.6-1 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
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 https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): Preparing to unpack .../scotch_6.0.6-1_amd64.deb ... Unpacking scotch (6.0.6-1) ... dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/scotch_6.0.6-1_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/ptscotch_esmumps', which is also in package ptscotch 6.0.4.dfsg1-8+b1 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/scotch_6.0.6-1_amd64.deb Either the file needs to be moved back into ptscotch, or you need to add Breaks+Replaces: ptscotch (<< 6.0.6) cheers, Andreas
