Package: ffmpeg Version: 7:2.7.2-1 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts replaces-without-breaks Control: affects -1 + libav-tools
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 libav-tools # (1) apt-get install ffmpeg apt-get remove ffmpeg # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: usr/bin/qt-faststart usr/share/man/man1/qt-faststart.1.gz 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 ffmpeg package has the following relationships with libav-tools: Conflicts: n/a Breaks: libav-tools (<< 6:9~), qt-faststart (<< 7:2.7.1-3~) Replaces: libav-tools (<< 6:12~), qt-faststart (<< 7:2.7.1-3~) The Breaks was not bumped to match the Replaces. >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 1m28.2s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /usr/bin/qt-faststart owned by: ffmpeg /usr/share/man/man1/qt-faststart.1.gz owned by: ffmpeg 1m28.2s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/libav-tools.list not owned cheers, Andreas
