Package: release.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:7zip

User: [email protected], [email protected]
Usertags: pu
Tags: trixie
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Severity: normal
[ Reason ]
During the p7zip->7zip migration, the Breaks/Replace fields were
introduced before p7zip became a transitional package: they target the
p7zip/bookworm <= 16.02+dfsg-8, instead of << 16.02+transitional.1.
This leaves no room for a bookworm security update, which is planned
#1132466.
This update fixes the Breaks/Replace fields, following the good
practices from https://wiki.debian.org/PackageTransition.
[ Impact ]
File conflicts on /usr/bin/7z* during a bookworm->trixie upgrade.
[ Tests ]
A bookworm VM was setup, with the planned bookworm security update
installed, then upgraded to trixie, to reproduce the issue. Then tried
again with the proposed fix.
7zip/trixie was also backported to oldstable-backports with this
debian/control fix, allowing direct testing.
[ Risks ]
None.
[ Checklist ]
[X] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[X] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[X] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
(only affects bookworm->trixie upgrade)
[ Changes ]
Updates the Breaks/Replace fields to be << trixie-version rather than <=
bookworm-version.
