Package: src:xen Version: 4.14.3-1 Conversation in #debian-security, 25 Sep 2021
18:28 < adsb> hmmm, were the filename changes in https://release.debian.org/proposed-updates/bullseye_diffs/xen_4.14.3-1~deb11u1_amd64.debdiff.html expected? ---- >8 ---- Files only in first set of .debs, found in package xen-hypervisor-4.14-amd64 -rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/lib/debug/xen-4.14.3-pre.efi.map.gz -rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/lib/debug/xen-syms-4.14.3-pre.gz -rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/lib/debug/xen-syms-4.14.3-pre.map.gz New files in second set of .debs, found in package xen-hypervisor-4.14-amd64 -rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/lib/debug/xen-4.14.3.efi.map.gz -rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/lib/debug/xen-syms-4.14.3.gz -rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/lib/debug/xen-syms-4.14.3.map.gz ---- >8 ---- ^^^ files names in binary package should not change during an update of a package in the Debian stable release 22:09 < Knorrie> adsb: no, I did not expect that, but after looking at it for a few minutes, I understand why, and this is a small packaging bug that exists for years already apparently (the same thing has been happening during buster also already all the time) 22:09 < Knorrie> adsb: the '.3-pre' and '.3' parts should be stripped out of the filename, just like the files in /boot (e.g. /boot/xen-4.14-amd64.gz). so, just '4.14' 22:10 < Knorrie> we have a thing for that, which fixes up all the files in boot, the same should be added for those files in the debug location https://salsa.debian.org/xen-team/debian-xen/-/blob/master/debian/shuffle-boot-files 22:10 * Knorrie takes note 22:10 < Knorrie> for some reason this was apparently not spotted yet, because it's not on a todo list. 22:11 < Knorrie> so, let me rephrase, given the current packaging code (which did not change), technically, I see why this is actually expected, but it's not meant to be so 22:18 * h01ger learned today there's a new DSA acronym: Distributed Switch Architecture :) 22:54 < adsb> Knorrie: cool, thanks for looking 22:58 < Knorrie> adsb: thanks for sharing the observation FTR, Knorrie
