Hi Andreas, thanks for your continued efforts on piuparts and reporting them to the bts. I saw your recent report #1064893 on python3-pcpp and would like you to change your bug template. We had an earlier discussion about this on debian-de...@lists.debian.org starting at https://lists.debian.org/20230717051627.ga2736...@subdivi.de. We agreed to move these usertags to debian-qa@lists.debian.org to make different tools (piuparts and dumat in particular) more interoperable. I concluded to use the file-conflict usertag for actual unpack errors. Would you be able to change your bug template to emit "file-conflict" in addition to "piuparts" such that dumat would avoid filing duplicates of your bugs? In principle, it should be as simple as checking whether "trying to overwrite" is part of the error message and then always adding "file-conflict".
Please cc me in replies. Helmut
