Package: lmms-common Version: 1.1.3-2 Severity: serious User: [email protected] Usertags: piuparts
Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package removes files that
were installed by another package.
The removed files were already present before the package was installed,
they may have been shipped or created by a dependency.
This could be a violation of policy 10.7.4 ("Sharing configuration
files"), see
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s10.7.4
or policy chapter 6 ("Package maintainer scripts..."), see
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html
or policy 7.6 ("Overwriting files..."), see
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces
This was observed on an upgrade from stretch to sid.

The preinst script looks very suspicious, you probably want to use
dpkg-maintscript-helper symlink_to_dir/dir_to_symlink instead.
But I didn't dig deeper to see who shipped what in the previous version.
cheers,
