Hi, as announced yesterday, I will now continue starting threads about different bug categories detected by piuparts, with the aim to agree on mass filing bugs with a sensible severity.
Today I picked another simple category: packages which failed the piuparts test because the package tries to overwrite another packages files without declaring a conflict or replaces relation. See policy 7.4 and 7.6 at http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-conflicts and http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/overwrite_other_packages_files_error.html and http://piuparts.debian.org/squeeze/overwrite_other_packages_files_error.html lists those packages. Eleven packages in squeeze and ten in sid are affected. See below for dd-list output. If somebody disagrees that these bugs should be filed with severity serious, speak up now, this weekend I plan to file those bugs. Even though this is IMO again a pretty clear case of violating a mandatory policy requierement, where the violation seriously disrupts user expectations, I havent filed bugs yet, because of ENOTIME :-) regards, Holger Guenter Geiger (Debian/GNU) <gei...@debian.org> sox (U) Andrew Lee (æå¥ç§) <ajq...@debian.org> stardict Daniel Baumann <dan...@debian.org> botan-devel tryton-modules-analytic-invoice Mathias Behrle <mathi...@mbsolutions.selfip.biz> tryton-modules-analytic-invoice (U) Marcus Better <mar...@better.se> ser (U) Wes Chow <w...@senortoad.com> sparsehash (U) Debian Cyrus SASL Team <pkg-cyrus-sasl2-debian-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org> cyrus-sasl2-heimdal Debian Scientific Computing Team <pkg-scicomp-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org> sundials Debian VoIP Team <pkg-voip-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org> ser Fabian Fagerholm <fa...@debian.org> cyrus-sasl2-heimdal (U) Anthony Fok <f...@debian.org> stardict (U) RISKO Gergely <ri...@debian.org> libmcrypt Pascal Giard <pas...@debian.org> sox Gerber van der Graaf <gerber_gr...@users.sourceforge.net> libgpiv GRUB Maintainers <pkg-grub-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org> grub2 Simon Horman <ho...@debian.org> pacemaker (U) Kilian Krause <kil...@debian.org> ser (U) Rafael Laboissiere <raf...@debian.org> sundials (U) Jordi Mallach <jo...@debian.org> grub2 (U) Patrick Matthäi <pmatth...@debian.org> luckybackup Robert Millan <rmh.debian.g...@aybabtu.com> grub2 (U) Mark Purcell <m...@debian.org> ser (U) Athena Capital Research <acr-deb...@athenacr.com> sparsehash Anibal Monsalve Salazar <ani...@debian.org> gdbm pacemaker Roberto C.
