Hi Andreas,
Thanks for the report! On Mon, Feb 04, 2019 at 07:26:59PM +0100, Andreas Beckmann wrote: > if I understood the changelog entry correctly, frr is a successor to > quagga.

I wasn't sure whether it is appropriate to use "Replaces:" and had only put a "Conflicts: quagga" on the frr binary package. Got fooled by simply copying the quagga/zebra conflict :/. Also, it's currently a "Conflicts:" since I followed Debian policy 7.4 "Conflicts should be used when two packages provide the same file and will continue to do so, [...]". I guess if a "Replaces:" is appropriate, the "Conflicts:" should be a "Breaks:" instead? > frr-doc=6.0.2-1 has file conflicts in sid with > - quagga-doc=1.2.4-3 I was about to say this shouldn't be the case, then I noticed they install the same .png files in /usr/share/info :( - adding Conflicts. (I'll look into possibly fixing the conflict at a later point - need to dive into texinfo for that one.) > frr=6.0.2-1 has file conflicts in sid with > - quagga-bgpd=1.2.4-3 > - quagga-core=1.2.4-3 > - quagga-isisd=1.2.4-3 > - quagga-ospf6d=1.2.4-3 > - quagga-ospfd=1.2.4-3 > - quagga-pimd=1.2.4-3 > - quagga-ripd=1.2.4-3 > - quagga-ripngd=1.2.4-3 > > There is also a conflict of frr=6.0.2-1 with pimd=2.3.2-2 over the file > > usr/share/man/man8/pimd.8.gz Indeed all of those should be Conflicts/Breaks. (Although I suppose we could rename the man pages to "frr-<daemon>.8"? The daemons are installed "private" under /usr/lib/frr... but then it's confusing if a user gets a man page for another daemon...) Cheers, -David
