Hi folks,
This is probably a louzy and obvious question, but I'm trying to fix a package
error (files moved from a .deb to another one).
When upgrading two packages (A and B) to the new version, dpkg is having some
troubles, because some files from the new package A were actually in the old
package B.
Hence, to solve this small issue, I added Replaces: and Conflicts: lines in A
control file, to (1) tell the scripts that some file replacement will occur on
B files and (2) not to let the two packages "new A" and "old B" coexist.
Everything is fine.. exept that dpkg is trying (while removing the previous B
version) to delete non-emprt dirs
upgrading A..
removing previous A files
overwriting some previous B files: OK (Replaces: works)
upgrading B..
removing previous B files
ERROR: can not remove some directories because they are not
empty (added by A installing)
The problem is that the B removal attempts to delete dierctories that are now
the "property" of A.
Am I missing something ?
(FYI, the conflicting packages are webhttrack and httrack-doc, in the main
section, from version 3.40.4 (SID) to version 3.41.6
(<http://debian.httrack.com/dists/unstable/main/source/>), fixing BUG 367219)
Regards,
Xavier
