Package: liblapack3 Version: 3.4.0-1~exp2 Severity: serious Justification: broken upgrade
Hi, Just got a chance to try the upgraded liblapack3. Alas, the behavior matches the fears described here [1]: > The Conflicts also seems insufficient, since it doesn't force other > packages such as libatlas3gf-base for which liblapack.so.3gf is still > the master link to be upgraded. More precisely, I get | Setting up liblapack3 (3.4.0-1~exp2) ... | update-alternatives: warning: alternative /usr/lib/lapack/liblapack.so.3gf (part of link group liblapack.so.3gf) doesn't exist. Removing from list of alternatives. | update-alternatives: error: alternative liblapack.so.3gf can't be slave of liblapack.so.3: it is a master alternative. | dpkg: error processing liblapack3 (--install): And: | # ls -l /etc/alternatives/liblapack.so.3gf | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Feb 19 11:11 /etc/alternatives/liblapack.so.3gf -> /usr/lib/atlas-base/atlas/liblapack.so.3gf Proposed strategy for fixing it: > Maybe a versioned Breaks against all > packages in squeeze providing liblapack.so.3gf would help, so the > upgrade path would be: > > 1.

Postinst adds the > liblapack.so.3/liblapack.so.3gf link group.
