Package: netkit-telnetd
Version: 0.17-46
Severity: serious

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.
This error may also be triggered by having a predecessor package from
'sid 'installed while installing the package from 'experimental'.

See policy 7.6 at

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

  Preparing to unpack .../netkit-telnetd_0.17-46_amd64.deb ...

  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/netkit-telnetd_0.17-46_amd64.deb

These files are in conflict:
usr/lib/telnetlogin
usr/sbin/in.telnetd
usr/share/man/man5/issue.net.5.gz
usr/share/man/man8/in.telnetd.8.gz
usr/share/man/man8/telnetlogin.8.gz

telnetd-ssl has a 'Conflicts: telnetd', but that is no longer effective
after the rename to netkit-telnetd.


cheers,

Andreas
