[Bug 878180] [NEW] missing Breaks/Replaces

[Colin Watson]

Public bug reported:

The xmlrpc-c binary packages have been reorganised in the upload with
binaries currently waiting in NEW.  Some of these overlap with binaries
that were previously in Ubuntu (they may have been Ubuntu-specific), and
not all the required Breaks/Replaces fields are present.  In particular,
I believe you need:

  libxmlrpc-c++4 Breaks/Replaces: libxmlrpc-c3-0 (<< 1.16.33-3.1ubuntu1)
  libxmlrpc-core-c3 Breaks/Replaces: libxmlrpc-core-c3-0 (<< 1.16.33-3.1ubuntu1)

(Some of the binaries in this source package already use
Conflicts/Replaces pairs for similar purposes.  This is discouraged by
the Debian policy manual nowadays in favour of Breaks/Replaces, although
quite a few packages still use the older incorrect approach.)

** Affects: xmlrpc-c (Ubuntu)
     Importance: High
         Status: New

** Changed in: xmlrpc-c (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => High
