Package: python3-ruamel.yaml.clib Version: 0.2.0-1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 7.6.1
Steps to reproduce: * Have python3-ruamel.yaml from testing * Upgrade Expected result: successful upgrade Actual result: > Preparing to unpack .../25-python3-ruamel.yaml.clib_0.2.0-1_amd64.deb ... > Unpacking python3-ruamel.yaml.clib (0.2.0-1) ... > dpkg: error processing archive > /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-w9QDSF/25-python3-ruamel.yaml.clib_0.2.0-1_amd64.deb > (--unpack): > trying to overwrite > '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/_ruamel_yaml.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so', > which is also in package python3-ruamel.yaml 0.15.89-3+b2 > dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe) > Preparing to unpack .../26-python3-ruamel.yaml_0.16.10-2_all.deb ... > Unpacking python3-ruamel.yaml (0.16.10-2) over (0.15.89-3+b2) ... > Errors were encountered while processing: > /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-w9QDSF/25-python3-ruamel.yaml.clib_0.2.0-1_amd64.deb Workaround: retry the upgrade until apt decides to upgrade python3-ruamel.yaml before installing python3-ruamel.yaml.clib. This looks like the "Split, new A always requires new B" case from <https://wiki.debian.org/PackageTransition>. The solution is usually to have: Package: python3-ruamel.yaml Depends: python3-ruamel.yaml.clib (>= some version) Package: python3-ruamel.yaml.clib Breaks: python3-ruamel.yaml (<< 0.16.10) Replaces: python3-ruamel.yaml (<< 0.16.10) so that they have to be upgraded together, with python3-ruamel.yaml temporarily broken during the upgrade transaction.
