Bug#346527: chipcard-tools removes the user for libchipcard2-tools
Package: libchipcard2-tools Version: 1.9.15.99+1.9.16alpha-1 Severity: important Hi, I don't know which packages owns this bug really, but I think libchipcard2-tools reuses the user added by chipcard-tools without caring about it. If the chipcard-tools package is removed after lc2-t was installed, it removes the user chipcard, which is needed by lc2-t Bye, Jörg. -- System Information: Debian Release: unstable/experimental APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13.1 Locale: LANG=de_DE, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages libchipcard2-tools depends on: ii adduser 3.80Add and remove users and groups ii libc62.3.5-11GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libchipcard2-0c2 1.9.15.99+1.9.16alpha-1 library for accessing smartcards ii libchipcard2-dat 1.9.15.99+1.9.16alpha-1 configuration files for libchipcar ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-5 GCC support library ii libgwenhywfar17c 1.19.0-1OS abstraction layer ii libstdc++6 4.0.2-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libsysfs11.3.0-6 interface library to sysfs ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.10a-22userspace USB programming library libchipcard2-tools recommends no packages. -- no debconf information pgpSgdWe7k3za.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi Jörg, thank you for your bug report!

If the chipcard-tools package is removed after lc2-t was installed, it removes the user chipcard, which is needed by lc2-t I guess the user should probably not be removed at all and will switch to that. That won't help for chipcard-tools because that's not in the archive anymore, though. I'll have to see about this. Kind regards T. -- Thomas Viehmann, http://thomas.viehmann.net/

Why not conflict with it? Both packages share the same resources (chipcard reader). Because I like to have them both installed simultaneously... Seriously: As the packages are gone from unstable, I don't want to force users to deinstall chipcard-tools that they need to find after they upgrade. I might introduce an empty transitional package from libchipcard-tools or even rename libchipcard-tools. The latter never has been released, so this should be OK technically.
