Hi Dominik, poking you directly as I'm not sure if you received this RC bug mail.

Package: rpi.gpio-common Version: 0.7.1~a4-1.1 Severity: serious Justification: file loss in upgrade Tags: trixie sid User: helm...@debian.org Usertags: dep17p7 User: debian-...@lists.debian.org Usertags: armel armhf arm64 X-Debbugs-Cc: z...@debian.org In an an upgrade from bookworm to trixie, rpi.gpio-common may loose /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-rpi.gpio-common.rules, because it is a file shared in a Multi-Arch: same package and being moved from /lib to /usr/lib during the upgrade. For more information refer to https://subdivi.de/~helmut/dep17.html section P7. As I was wondering about a good way to fix this, I failed to find a reason for rpi.gpio-common to exist as a separate package from python3-rpi.gpio. I was made aware that there formerly was a Python 2 package that would benefit from a -common package sharing the udev rules file, but now no such package exists anymore. This leaves the question of whether you would prefer keeping (and fixing) the rpi.gpio-common package or merging its content into python3-rpi.gpio (thus reducing the number of packages in the archive for good). In case you want to keep rpi.gpio-common, allow me to suggest dropping Multi-Arch: same for one release. You cannot actually coinstall python3-rpi.gpio, so coinstalling rpi.gpio-common is of very limited use. I guess that the Multi-Arch hinter opportunistically suggested adding Multi-Arch: same, but here it is one precondition to actually loosing the file. A very simple way of working around the problem at hand could be: -Multi-Arch: same +# begin-remove-after: released:trixie +# Avoid being Multi-Arch: same for the trixie upgrade to avoid a DEP17 +# P7 file loss of the udev fules file being moved from /lib to /usr/lib. +Multi-Arch: no +# end-remove-after I offer writing a patch (including the workarounds for the /usr-move) for the other ways. Please let me know if you want to accept my offer and indicate which path you prefer. Helmut
