Package: libdbus-glib-1-doc
Version: 0.110-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'stable'.
It installed fine in 'stable', 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

This test intentionally skipped 'testing' to find file overwrite
problems before packages migrate from 'unstable' to 'testing'.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package libdbus-glib-1-doc.
  Preparing to unpack .../134-libdbus-glib-1-doc_0.110-1_all.deb ...
  Unpacking libdbus-glib-1-doc (0.110-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive

   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/libdbus-glib-1-dev/AUTHORS', which is 
also in package libdbus-glib-1-dev 0.108-2
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-rMgxvR/134-libdbus-glib-1-doc_0.110-1_all.deb

This is probably caused by a behavioral change in dh_installdocs
in debhelper compat level 11.


cheers,

Andreas
