Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install
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/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

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

  Preparing to unpack .../archives/pnc_0.9.4-1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking pnc (0.9.4-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/pnc_0.9.4-1_amd64.deb 
(--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gawk/gawkpn.so', which is 
also in package pn 0.9.0-1+b3
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/pnc_0.9.4-1_amd64.deb

Since pnc is taking over pn, the Breaks+Replaces can be unversioned.

Please also file a RM bug for src:pn


cheers,

Andreas
