Package: gparted Version: 1.0.0-0.1build1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hiya,
I'm filing this from an Ubuntu system, but it's a fix I think we should do in Debian, to help all derivatives. When upgrading gparted just now, I got: > Unpacking gparted (1.1.0-0.1) over (1.0.0-0.1build1) ... > dpkg: error processing archive > /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-WEMwFJ/165-gparted_1.1.0-0.1_amd64.deb (--unpack): > trying to overwrite '/usr/share/metainfo/gparted.appdata.xml', which is also > in package gparted-common 1.0.0-0.1build1 It's because Ubuntu performed a no-change rebuild of gparted for a library transition (we don't have binary uploads there). Your Breaks/Replaces matches only the exact version of the file that shipped the appdata in Debian, so any modified downstream versions will not match. It would be nicer to either just use `<<` for all earlier versions, or if you want add a lower bound too. I'm happy to supply and upload a patch if you'd like.
