Package: libhipsolver-doc

Hi,

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

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

Preparing to unpack .../libhipsolver-doc_5.5.1-4_all.deb ...
Unpacking libhipsolver-doc (5.5.1-4) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libhipsolver-doc_5.5.1-4_all.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/libhipsolver-dev/examples/example_basic.c', which is also in package libhipsolver-dev 5.5.1-3
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libhipsolver-doc_5.5.1-4_all.deb

There are
Breaks+Replaces: libhipsolver-dev (<< 5.5.1-3~)
which are insufficient to match the last version still shipping the files
in the -dev package.

cheers,

Andreas
