Package: libratbag-tools Version: 0.9-2 Severity: serious User: [email protected] Usertags: piuparts replaces-without-breaks
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 liblur3/testing # (1) apt-get install libratbag-tools/sid apt-get remove libratbag-tools # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: /usr/share/man/man1/lur-command.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 libratbag-tools package has the following relationships with liblur3: Conflicts: n/a Breaks: n/a Replaces: liblur3 (<< 0.9-1) Depends: liblur3 (>= 0.4) >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /usr/share/man/man1/lur-command.1.gz owned by: libratbag-tools 0m15.7s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/liblur3:amd64.list not owned cheers, Andreas
