Package: lintian Version: 2.5.45 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I don't know too much about doing coverage computations in Python, but this looks wrong twice (i.e. for both packages): Unpacking python-rows (0.2.0-1) over (0.1.1-3) ... dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/python-rows_0.2.0-1_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/.coverage', which is also in package python-jwt 1.4.0-1 IMHO lintian should throw an "Error" level warning if a file matching /usr/lib/python*/dist-packages/.coverage exists in a binary package. But maybe the list of avoided file names should be even larger. Someone fit in python ooverage should probably look at this. I'd implement the test once it's clear what exactly needs to be looked at. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (980, 'unstable-debug'), (600, 'testing'), (111, 'buildd-unstable'), (111, 'buildd-experimental'), (110, 'experimental'), (105, 'experimental-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.26.1-1 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8 ii diffstat 1.61-1 ii file 1:5.28-3 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-1 ii hardening-includes 2.8+nmu2 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.4 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.29+b5 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.57-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.38-2 ii libdata-alias-perl 1.20-1+b1 ii libdigest-sha-perl 5.95-2+b1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.9 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.200-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.07-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.94-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-10 ii libperl5.22 [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.22.2-2 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.71-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.41-6+b1 ii man-db 2.7.5-1 ii patchutils 0.3.4-1 ii perl 5.22.2-2 ii t1utils 1.39-2 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2.1 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii dpkg 1.18.9 ii libautodie-perl 2.29-2 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b1 ii perl 5.22.2-2 ii perl-modules-5.22 [libautodie-perl] 5.22.2-2 Versions of packages lintian suggests: ii binutils-multiarch 2.26.1-1 ii dpkg-dev 1.18.9 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-2 ii libtext-template-perl 1.46-1 -- no debconf information
