Conflicts does not remove old package



Hi,

we got https://bugs.debian.org/978431 telling that the upgrade from buster to sid fails. This is also visible in piuparts [1].

  Unpacking texlive-base (2020.20201203-2) over (2018.20190227-2) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-K7a7FC/07-texlive-base_2020.20201203-2_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/generic/iftex/iftex.pdf', which is also in package texlive-plain-generic 2018.20190227-2
  dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Selecting previously unselected package texlive-plain-generic.
dpkg: considering deconfiguration of texlive-base, which would be broken by installation of texlive-plain-generic ... dpkg: yes, will deconfigure texlive-base (broken by texlive-plain-generic)

When looking at the package texlive-base it already declares a

Conflicts: (...) texlive-plain-generic (<< 2020.20200417).

Hence I'd expect that old texlive-plain-generic is removed before the new texlive-base is installed. What are we doing wrong here?
