Package: syslinux
Version: 2:4.01+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
The relationships between syslinux and syslinux-common are rather
strange:
,----
| Package: syslinux
| Architecture: amd64 i386
| Depends:
| ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, syslinux-common (= ${binary:Version}),
| Conflicts: syslinux-common (<< ${source:Version})
| Replaces: syslinux-common
|
| Package: syslinux-common
| Architecture: all
| Depends: ${misc:Depends}
| Conflicts: syslinux (<< ${source:Version})
| Replaces: syslinux
`----
Having syslinux and syslinux-common conflict with previous versions of
each other means that apt has to temporarily remove one of them on
upgrades. For people also having extlinux installed, two packages will
be temporarily removed, because extlinux also conflicts with previous
versions of syslinux and syslinux-common! I would suggest to remove the
Conflicts against syslinux-commmon in syslinux, as it has a versioned
dependency on syslinux-common at least since lenny.
The Replaces should really be versioned, since unversioned Replaces
could hide inadvertent packaging bugs (shipping a file in both syslinux
and syslinux-common can easily go unnoticed).

Urgency: medium
Maintainer: Debian Syslinux Maintainers <[email protected]>

Description:
extlinux - collection of boot loaders (ext2/3/4 and btrfs bootloader)
syslinux - collection of boot loaders
syslinux-common - collection of boot loaders (common files)
Closes: 588673 588678
Changes:
syslinux (2:4.01+dfsg-3) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Reverting too strong depends and leaving it as it was before. This
does not reopen #588210, since that's not possible in lenny and
would uselessly make backporting harder. Once squeeze is released,
breaks will be used (Closes: #588678).
* Adding instructions to README.Debian in syslinux on how to create
the floppy images manually (Closes: #588673).
