Hi,

If files have been moved around, you need
  Replaces: python-zodb (<< 3.11.0~)
  Breaks: python-zodb (<< 3.11.0~)

And not conflicts.  There is rarely a need for (lone) "Conflict" these
days (notable exception being Policy §7.5.2[1]).

Please confirm you really meant to use Conflicts (and why).  Otherwise
please use Replaces+Breaks instead.

Thank you,
~Niels
