[Bug 1312651] Re: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/extractattr', which is also in package pkg-kde-tools 0.14.2ubuntu5

[Harald Sitter]

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  Since 12.04 various files from pkg-kde-tools moved to kdesdk-scripts
  creating a file conflict between a sufficiently old version and a
  sufficiently new version. This can break upgrades to 14.04. The solution
  is to introduce a replaces and breaks relationship to force pkg-kde-
  tools to be upgraded first.
  
  [Test Case]
  
- * On a 12.04 installation, install kdesdk-scripts
+ * On a 12.04 installation, install kdesdk-scripts *and* pkg-kde-tools
  * Upgrade to 14.04
  * No file conflicts should appear between kdesdk-scripts and pkg-kde-tools
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
  relationship could be wrong rendering any of the two packages
  uninstallable or unupgradable
