--- Begin Message ---Package: jed,xjed Version: 1:0.99.20~pre.178+dfsg-4 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts Hi, an upgrade test with piuparts revealed that your package installs files over existing symlinks and possibly overwrites files owned by other packages. This usually means an old version of the package shipped a symlink but that was later replaced by a real (and non-empty) directory. This kind of overwriting another package's files cannot be detected by dpkg. This was observed on the following upgrade paths: bullseye -> sid For /usr/share/doc/PACKAGE this may not be problematic as long as both packages are installed, ship byte-for-byte identical files and are upgraded in lockstep. But once one of the involved packages gets removed, the other one will lose its documentation files, too, including the copyright file, which is a violation of Policy 12.5: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#copyright-information For other overwritten locations anything interesting may happen. Note that dpkg intentionally does not replace directories with symlinks and vice versa, you need the maintainer scripts to do this. See in particular the end of point 4 in https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#details-of-unpack-phase-of-installation-or-upgrade It is recommended to use the dpkg-maintscript-helper commands 'dir_to_symlink' and 'symlink_to_dir' (available since dpkg 1.17.14) to perform the conversion, ideally using d/$PACKAGE.maintscript. See dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) and dh_installdeb(1) for details. >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 0m42.0s ERROR: FAIL: silently overwrites files via directory symlinks: /usr/share/doc/jed/NEWS.Debian.gz (jed) != /usr/share/doc/jed-common/NEWS.Debian.gz (jed-common) /usr/share/doc/jed -> jed-common /usr/share/doc/jed/README.Debian (jed) != /usr/share/doc/jed-common/README.Debian (?) /usr/share/doc/jed -> jed-common /usr/share/doc/jed/TODO.Debian (jed) != /usr/share/doc/jed-common/TODO.Debian (?) /usr/share/doc/jed -> jed-common /usr/share/doc/jed/changelog.Debian.gz (jed) != /usr/share/doc/jed-common/changelog.Debian.gz (jed-common) /usr/share/doc/jed -> jed-common /usr/share/doc/jed/changelog.gz (jed) != /usr/share/doc/jed-common/changelog.gz (jed-common) /usr/share/doc/jed -> jed-common /usr/share/doc/jed/copyright (jed) != /usr/share/doc/jed-common/copyright (jed-common) /usr/share/doc/jed -> jed-common 0m46.5s ERROR: FAIL: silently overwrites files via directory symlinks: /usr/share/doc/xjed/NEWS.Debian.gz (xjed) != /usr/share/doc/jed-common/NEWS.Debian.gz (jed-common) /usr/share/doc/xjed -> jed-common /usr/share/doc/xjed/changelog.Debian.gz (xjed) != /usr/share/doc/jed-common/changelog.Debian.gz (jed-common) /usr/share/doc/xjed -> jed-common /usr/share/doc/xjed/changelog.gz (xjed) != /usr/share/doc/jed-common/changelog.gz (jed-common) /usr/share/doc/xjed -> jed-common /usr/share/doc/xjed/copyright (xjed) != /usr/share/doc/jed-common/copyright (jed-common) /usr/share/doc/xjed -> jed-common This is probably an older bug that never showed up in piuparts since jed/xjed could not be tested after jed-common had failed. cheers, Andreas

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is attached. Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you have further comments please address them to 1036...@bugs.debian.org, and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.

The version in the {jed,xjed}.maintscript files is bumped to 1:0.99.20~pre.178+dfsg-6~, such that the cleanup is performed on both upgrades from stable to testing (missed cleanup) and from testing to unstable (fixed cleanup). Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for spotting the problem and suggesting its solution. (Closes: #1036096) . jed (1:0.99.20~pre.178+dfsg-5) unstable; urgency=medium . * Add files d/{jed,xjed}.maintscript. These files allow the smooth transition for /usr/share/doc/{jed,xjed}, which were symlinks before version 0.99.20~pre.151+dfsg-1 and are now real directories.

The previous version, which tried to fix Bug#1035692, messed up with the directory /usr/share/doc/jed-common/txt. This directory is not really needed and has been removed, with all filesit contained being kept in /usr/share/jed/doc/txt/.
