Bug Description

Upgrading fails with this error:

Unpacking icedtea-netx-common (from .../icedtea-netx-common_1.1.4-1ubuntu1_all.deb) ...

Looks like files have moved between icedtea-next-common and icedtea-netx without the required Replaces.

  * Tighten version for `replaces' attribute. The version needs updates when
    packages are backported to earlier releases. LP: #891720.
