Package: yudit-common
Version: 2.7.8-2
Severity: important

Hello,

Since "yudit-common" contains files that are in earlier versions of
"yudit" it needs to conflict with earlier versions of "yudit" so that the
latter are removed before "yudit-common" can be installed. Else the
upgrade fails with an error message as shown below.

I think the severity is probably higher than "important" but I was not
able to find chapter and verse to quote why upgrades must not fail!

Regards,

Kapil.
