Package: hylafax-server Version: 2:6.1~20111227-8 Severity: serious User: [email protected] Usertags: piuparts replaces-without-breaks
Hi, during a test with piuparts and EDOS 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 capi4hylafax # (1) apt-get install hylafax-server apt-get remove hylafax-server # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: /var/spool/hylafax/bin /var/spool/hylafax This is a serious bug violating policy 7.6, see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces and also see the footnote that describes this incorrect behavior http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/footnotes.html#f53 The hylafax-server package has the following relationships with capi4hylafax: Conflicts: capi4hylafax (<< 1:01.02.03-4) Breaks: n/a Replaces: n/a >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 0m31.4s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /var/spool/hylafax/bin owned by: hylafax-server, capi4hylafax /var/spool/hylafax/etc owned by: hylafax-server, capi4hylafax 0m31.4s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /var/spool/hylafax owned by: hylafax-server, capi4hylafax As this affects directories, not files, there is probably a problem in a prerm/postrm maintainer script. cheers, Andreas
