Yes, it should be a Replace, but a versionned one would be better as the best solution would be to have the manpages distributed in the sysv-rc package. -- Nekral -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Quoting Jonathan Nieder (jrnie...@gmail.com): I think this can be fixed with a Breaks statement, that will force sysv-rc to be updated prior to the update of manpages-fr-extra. I worry that that is not completely robust: a Breaks would would force sysv-rc to be updated prior to configuring the updated manpages-fr-extra, but it doesn’t enforce the appropriate unpacking order when upgrading with dpkg. Ah, right. I think a Replaces should be good enough. After all, this doesn’t actually break the old sysv-rc version. I was balanced about these choices and they show the limits of my knowledge, sometimes, when it comes at package dependencies. Does this guarantee that, after the update, sysv-rc will still be on the system? Would something like this work? Using unversioned Replaces like this is only appropriate if we know that sysv-rc should not overwrite any files from manpages-fr-extra in squeeze or squeeze+1. I suspect we do know that. Sure. The said manpage was the only one causing this problem. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

So exactly the opposite of my suspicion was true! Makes sense; I should have thought about it more. Here’s an updated patch.

I was balanced about these choices and they show the limits of my knowledge, sometimes, when it comes at package dependencies. Does this guarantee that, after the update, sysv-rc will still be on the system? Yes, the only thing it does is to allow manpages-fr-extra to take over files from sysv-rc. There is a downside: if someone installs sysv-rc/lenny with manpages-fr-extra/squeeze and then uninstalls or downgrades manpages-fr-extra, then the update-rc.d manpage goes missing until manpages-fr-extra is reinstalled. Once can prevent this by forcing a sysv-rc upgrade (at least for apt users) using Breaks in addition to the Replaces. That might be a good idea, too. See http://bugs.debian.org/557929 for a more serious example of this consideration. À plus, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
