Package: emacs-common Version: 1:28.2+1-8 Upgrading emacs from 27.1 to 28.2 today on my debian testing system, i ran into this problem with the upgrade:
---- Unpacking emacs-common (1:28.2+1-8) over (1:27.1+1-3.1) ... dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-nVWWVc/05-emacs-common_1%3a28.2+1-8_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/systemd/user/emacs.service', which is also in package emacs-bin-common 1:27.1+1-3.1+b1 dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe) ---- this eventually caused "apt upgrade" to fail, but a subsequent "apt -f install" succeeded without issue, presumably because emacs-bin-common had also already been upgraded to 1:28.2+1-8 in the meantime. Moving a file from one package to another should be done more cautiously, along these lines: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces Thanks for maintaining emacs in debian! --dkg
