Package: libnotcurses2,libnotcurses++2 Version: 2.0.4+dfsg.1-2 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
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. 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 .../libnotcurses2_2.0.4+dfsg.1-2_amd64.deb ...

The libnotcurses[++]1 packages built from versions 1.x.y should be co-installable with libnotcurses[++]2. cheers, Andreas
