tags 540497 + patch pending
thanks
Dear maintainer,
I've prepared an NMU for sox (versioned as 14.3.0-1.1) and uploaded it
to DELAYED/2, according to devref §5.11.1. The patch simply adds a
missing Replaces from libsox-fmt-base to libsox-fmt-sndfile.
A few more comments:
- the fact that a user declared that the bug was not reproducible in his
specific upgrade is not very meaningful. I've tried an upgrade from
Lenny to Sid and while with the current apt-get sorting algorithm it
can work properly (libsox-fmt-sndfile got removed before than
libsox-fmt-base got unpacked), I was able to trigger the overwrite
errors with dpkg alone
- the NMUed version of the package works properly even in that corner
case
Cheers.
