--- Begin Message ---Package: dpkg Version: 1.17.4 Severity: serious Hi, consider the following packages shipping a few files: foo 1.0 /usr/foo/foo.dat foobar 2.0 /usr/foobar/foo.dat foo 2.0 (Depends: foobar) /usr/foo -> foobar foo 2.0 uses dpkg-maintscript-helper dir_to_symlink to properly perform the conversion. After the following sequence, /usr/foobar/foo.dat is missing: install foo 1.0 install foobar 2.0 install foo 2.0 I think the following is happen during the installation of foo 2.0: * the preinst moves /usr/foo/ aside * the package gets unpacked, creating /usr/foo -> foobar * the obsolete files from foo 1.0 that are no longer in foo 2.0 get deleted, this finds /usr/foo/foo.dat which exists, but is actually /usr/foobar/foo.dat, but gets deleted anyway. Observed while debugging the piuparts failures of python-babel on upgrades from jessie to sid. Andreas

[ Guillem Jover ] * Switch non-tty output to be line buffered by default, and set it to fully buffered only for programs with precious and abundant output, not just progress reporting output (i.e. dpkg-query). This was causing out-of-order error and debug messages in relation to normal progress reporting, which could be very confusing. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.17.2. * Fix segfault in update-alternatives when adding or renaming slaves for an existing alternative. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.17.2. Closes: #731710 * Fix dpkg-maintscript-helper symlink_to_dir and dir_to_symlink commands: - Always run postinst code regardless of prior-version, as the package might have been never configured before. - Be more strict when checking the expected state of paths. - Rename subcommand shell code to check-files-ownership. - Change dir_to_symlink switch code to use a staging empty directory, to avoid dpkg removing files from other packages, when removing the package old files during upgrade. - Bump minimal version in man page to 1.17.5. Closes: #731730 * Mention gpg2 too as one of the default sign commands in dpkg-buildpackage. . [ Updated dpkg translations ] * German (Sven Joachim). .
