Package: vlc
Version: 2.0.1-2
Severity: serious
User: debian...@lists.debian.org

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 other packages files without declaring a
replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

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

  Preparing to replace vlc 1.1.3-1squeeze6 (using 
.../archives/vlc_2.0.1-2_amd64.deb) ...
  Unpacking replacement vlc ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/vlc_2.0.1-2_amd64.deb 
(--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/vlc', which is also in package vlc-data 
1.1.3-1squeeze6


cheers,


Andreas
