Package: iceowl-extension Version: 24.0~b3-1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Source package iceweasel used to build both of binary packages iceowl-extension and calendar-timezones. Since 24.0~b3-1 binary package calendar-timezones was dropped, iceowl-extension has had provides/replaces/conflicts against calendar-timezones, with the following in changelog: remove package calendar-timezones. The calendar-timezones related files are now inside the lightning package. According to Debian Policy ยง 7.4, breaks should used "when moving a file from one package to another", whereas conflicts should be used "when two packages provide the same file and will continue to do so". I believe in this case the conflicts should be changed to breaks. This bug may seem rather harmless in itself, but since stable-security has included 24.5.0-1~deb7u1, systems with iceowl-extension installed will fail to auto-upgrade systems (e.g. with unattended-upgrades or by executing "aptitude upgrade") and if executing "aptitude dist-upgrade" the default solution is to remove iceowl-extension rather than to remove calendar-timezones as was intended. I therefore - at least for stable - consider this as "breaks unrelated software" and therefore tag it as critical. Concretely, the Debian Blend DebianParl was critically affected by is in that the non-auto-resolvable conflict caused other security updates to not get applied, including an upgrade to enigmail resulting in Icedove silently stopping to auto-sign emails as configured. - Jonas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQF8BAEBCgBmBQJTbP/oXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQ3NjQ4ODQwMTIyRTJDNTBFQzUxRDQwRTI0 RUMxQjcyMjM3NEY5QkQ2AAoJEE7BtyI3T5vW5sQH/A4osWwfgqVihlhpLNuJ9ogS EAtY/5QmYDmPLDh/sQIBcIY2LKvcV62V/5rwbX/d+lbe/2QY/+iy2BU8gS1JVohN huCM+zzkHOrzQ5Of5cPsON3lQ5CXarjkaRwq9iFIB8LFyuVSVHxZvtsowpNJPfAp G7BGaYp0OcDuoFBdx+Ong0cK4Fd6iVkpgmLy9DKN8NtTJl/13q4MmSBj3mWNtHNO A4jFuKAhmg2w3AxFSawTJI25iiIoLGBW9N6E5/xEUYjCPGwOoK3P19x2VgyfCVJu AfCwr+xhLzyz5IGUJ/0MNinWBFjIIMHpC96meyFG/lDBx8YE50Y2NNd98D7ohDE= =EjXE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
