Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'wheezy'.
It installed fine in 'wheezy', then the upgrade to 'jessie' 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/#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

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

  Selecting previously unselected package slurm-client.
  Unpacking slurm-client (from .../slurm-client_14.03.9-5+deb8u1_amd64.deb) ...
  dpkg: error processing 
/var/cache/apt/archives/slurm-client_14.03.9-5+deb8u1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/sacctmgr.1.gz', which is also in 
package slurm-llnl-slurmdbd 2.3.4-2+b1
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/slurm-client_14.03.9-5+deb8u1_amd64.deb

The conflicting files are:

  usr/bin/sacctmgr
  usr/share/man/man1/sacctmgr.1.gz

This should be fixable by adding
  Breaks+Replaces: slurm-llnl-slurmdbd (<< 14.03.9-5)
(The existing B+R: slurmdbd (<< 14.03.9-5) is probably incorrect and was
intended to do this, but better keep it in place ...)

Please note that the window for the final jessie point release closes
this weekend ...


cheers,

Andreas
