Package: pkgconf-bin Version: 1.8.0-2 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts replaces-without-breaks Control: affects -1 + pkgconf
Hi, during a test with piuparts and DOSE tools I noticed your package causes removal of files that also belong to another package. This is caused by using Replaces without corresponding Breaks. The installation sequence to reproduce this problem is apt-get install pkgconf/testing # (1) apt-get install pkgconf-bin/sid apt-get remove pkgconf-bin # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: /usr/bin/pkgconf This is a serious bug violating policy 7.6, see https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces and also see the footnote that describes this incorrect behavior: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#id13 The pkgconf-bin package has the following relationships with pkgconf: Conflicts: n/a Breaks: n/a Replaces: pkgconf (<< 1.8.0-2~) >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 0m31.4s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /usr/bin/pkgconf owned by: pkgconf-bin 0m31.4s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/pkgconf.list not owned cheers, Andreas
