      Hi,

       

      I'm an experienced debian developer, and my company uses your Debian packages for Zabbix. There's a few concerns that needs to be addressed in your packages.

       

      Upgrading from Zabbix 3.4 to 4.0 fails, because zabbix-sender contains files from zabbix-agent previous version, without declaring something like this:

       

      Package: zabbix-sender
      Breaks: zabbix-agent (<= 1:4.0.22)
      Replaces: zabbix-agent (<= 1:4.0.22)

      Also, I find it a bit silly that the buster version is 1:4.0.22-1+buster and stretch is 1:4.0.22-1+stretch. Indeed, buster is lower than stretch in the alphabetical order. Can I suggest that you switch to:

      1:4.0.22-1+deb9

      1:4.0.22-1+deb10

      so that the version from Stretch is always lower than then one in Buster and allows a correct upgrade?

       

      Cheers,
