Package: libsvga1-dev Followup-For: Bug #666550 Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from 'squeeze'. It installed fine in 'squeeze', then the upgrade to 'sid' fails because it tries to overwrite files that are owned by other packages without declaring a Breaks/Replaces relation. See policy 7.6 at http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces This problem is exposed during the upgrade of the 'libtuxcap-dev' package, not by upgrading only the buggy package itself. In order to have piuparts automatically track this problem, I'll mark this bug as Affects/Found in the exposing package(s), too. >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): Unpacking replacement libsvga1-dev ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libsvga1-dev_1%3a1.4.3-32_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/libsvga1/TODO', which is also in package libsvga1 1:1.4.3-29 configured to not write apport reports dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe) cheers, Andreas
