Package: libkpmcore5 Version: 3.1.2-1 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts replaces-without-breaks
Hi, during a test with piuparts and DOSE 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 libkpmcore4 # (1) apt-get install libkpmcore5 apt-get remove libkpmcore5 # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/libpmdummybackendplugin.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/libpmlibpartedbackendplugin.so /usr/share/kservices5/pmdummybackendplugin.desktop /usr/share/kservices5/pmlibpartedbackendplugin.desktop /usr/share/kservicetypes5/pmcorebackendplugin.desktop This is a serious bug violating policy 7.6, see https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces and also see the footnote that describes this incorrect behavior https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/footnotes.html#f53 The libkpmcore5 package has the following relationships with libkpmcore4: Conflicts: n/a Breaks: n/a Replaces: libkpmcore3, libkpmcore4 >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 3m54.1s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/libpmdummybackendplugin.so owned by: libkpmcore5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/libpmlibpartedbackendplugin.so owned by: libkpmcore5 /usr/share/kservices5/pmdummybackendplugin.desktop owned by: libkpmcore5 /usr/share/kservices5/pmlibpartedbackendplugin.desktop owned by: libkpmcore5 /usr/share/kservicetypes5/pmcorebackendplugin.desktop owned by: libkpmcore5 3m54.1s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/libkpmcore4.list not owned (note that ownership was recorded after libkpmcore5 claimes these files) cheers, Andreas
