Package: gnupg2
Version: 2.1.15-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I noticed after upgrading to gpg2 that gnupg-curl remains installed with
version 1.4.x.
Shouldn’t gpg2 declare a break/replace against gnupg-curl so the package gets
uninstalled on upgrade.
Thanks,
--Aurélien

Hello,
gnupg-curl was last shipped ages ago in Debian 8 (jessie). Since
removing obsolete packages is part of the normal Debian upgrade process
(See e.g.
https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#remove-obsolete-packages)
I doubt that adding breaks/replaces ever was the correct way to solve
this but it definitely is not called for now.
