Followup-For: Bug #768286
Control: found -1 4.1.1-3
Hi,
I can still reproduce this issue on this upgrade path:
squeeze -> wheezy -> jessie
Making piuparts a bit more verbose, I now get
1m49.9s ERROR: FAIL: silently overwrites files via directory symlinks:
/usr/share/doc/python-zope.interface-dbg/changelog.Debian.gz
(python-zope.interface-dbg) !=
/usr/share/doc/python-zope.interface/changelog.Debian.gz (python-zope.interface)
/usr/share/doc/python-zope.interface-dbg ->
/usr/share/doc/python-zope.interface
/usr/share/doc/python-zope.interface-dbg/copyright
(python-zope.interface-dbg) != /usr/share/doc/python-zope.interface/copyright
(python-zope.interface)
/usr/share/doc/python-zope.interface-dbg ->
/usr/share/doc/python-zope.interface
Looks like you need to use the absolute path of the link
target in your .maintscript files:
-symlink_to_dir /usr/share/doc/python-zope.interface-dbg python-zope.interface
4.1.1-3~
+symlink_to_dir /usr/share/doc/python-zope.interface-dbg
/usr/share/doc/python-zope.interface 4.1.1-4~
dpkg-maintscript-helper will try both
readlink $SYMLINKTOBECOMEADIRECTORY
and
readlink -f $SYMLINKTOBECOMEADIRECTORY
and one of the must match the old target for actions to be taken.
(notice the version bump in the maintscript to catch upgrades that "failed" in
-3)
