Package: texlive-latex-recommended
Version: 2019.20191208-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 7.6 overwriting files in other packages

Dear Maintainer,

Upgrading texlive packages in sid generates the following.

Preparing to unpack .../3-texlive-latex-recommended_2019.20191208-1_all.deb ...
Unpacking texlive-latex-recommended (2019.20191208-1) over (2019.20191112-1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive 
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-qFj4g6/3-texlive-latex-recommended_2019.20191208-1_all.deb
 (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite 
'/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/grffile/grffile-2017-06-30.sty', which 
is also in package texlive-latex-extra 2019.20191112-1
dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

An appropriate Breaks+Replaces will need to be added to the package.

See policy 7.6 at
