Package: firmware-ath9k-htc Version: 1.4.0-108-gd856466+dfsg1-1.2 Severity: grave Tags: d-i X-Debbugs-Cc: b...@debian.org, debian-boot@lists.debian.org, debian-ker...@lists.debian.org
Hi, While there have been some efforts around moving files between packages, that's still insufficient coordination: files haven't removed from the existing firmware-atheros package yet[1]! That means that any further upload of firmware-atheros will be (relationship-wise) co-installable with firmware-ath9k-htc (because its version will be higher than the one in Replaces/Breaks), while that's actually not the case! 1. https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/firmware-nonfree/-/merge_requests/54?commit_id=48af82f195e4ad5736d753b375442996915e244a#note_384526 Such move should have been handled by (1) making sure the existing package drops files, and then (2) declaring Replaces/Breaks against all versions strictly lower than this version. Given modalias information, both firmware packages would be pulled at the same time during installation, breaking dpkg in the target system.
