Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'jessie'.
It installed fine in 'jessie', 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/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

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

  Selecting previously unselected package gnuplot.
  Preparing to unpack .../gnuplot_5.0.5+dfsg1-3_all.deb ...
  Unpacking gnuplot (5.0.5+dfsg1-3) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive 
/var/cache/apt/archives/gnuplot_5.0.5+dfsg1-3_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/info/gnuplot.info.gz', which is also in 
package gnuplot-doc 4.6.6-2
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/gnuplot_5.0.5+dfsg1-3_all.deb

Shouldn't gnuplot.info better be in gnuplot-doc?
But if you move it, don't forget to add in gnuplot-doc
Breaks+Replaces: gnuplot (<< 5.0.5+dfsg1-4~)


cheers,

Andreas
