trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/aide.1.gz', which is also in package aide-common 0.15.1-5

[Michael Schaller]

Hi everyone,

During a dist-upgrade from Precise to Trusty I'm hitting this issue:
Unpacking aide (0.16~a2.git20130520-2) over (0.15.1-5) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/aide_0.16~a2.git20130520-2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/aide.1.gz', which is also in package aide-common 0.15.1-5

Can someone please update debian/control and add a versioned Breaks statement?

Reproduction instructions:
1) Install Ubuntu 12.04.4
2) sudo apt-get update
3) sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
4) sudo apt-get install aide aide-common
5) sudo reboot
6) If you use a VM take a snapshot
7) sudo sed -i s/precise/trusty/g /etc/apt/sources.list
8) sudo apt-get update
9) sudo apt-get dist-upgrade 2>&1 | tee upgrade.log
10) Wait for failure...

The dist-upgrade will fail of a dependency issue. The actual issue - the file collision - is deeply buried in the upgrade log. The dependency issue should go away as soon as the file collision issue is fixed.

Best,

Michael
