Oh, Robie, come on now. You already asked that question and an answer was given in #3 and #4. Too bad that was so long ago, but it's not my fault.
"In this case, in essence the package name is already the versioning." and "IOW, gir1.2-signon-1.0 isn't going to see any further upstream work and Debian won't reintroduce it either. That line ends with Debian stable." You know guys, it's really frustrating to do all the work and then have to do it over and over again and again. Sometimes for years without getting an inch closer to getting a fix uploaded. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libsignon-glib in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1916250 Title: gir1.2-signon-2.0 needs to declare replace on older releases (Groovy2Hirsute and Focal2Jammy) Status in libsignon-glib package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in libsignon-glib source package in Hirsute: In Progress Status in libsignon-glib source package in Impish: In Progress Bug description: gir1.2-signon-1.0 from groovy gir1.2-signon-2.0 from hirsute above two packages ship the same file /usr/lib/python3/dist- packages/gi/overrides/Signon.py without specifying how to resolve the conflict. [Test Case] This can be simply tested with a focal schroot: 1) apt-get install vim libsignon-glib-dev 2) edit /etc/apt/sources.list replacing focal with hirsute 3) apt-get update 4) apt-get install libsignon-glib-dev With the version of libsignon-glib-dev from -proposed you'll no longer receive the 'dpkg: error' from below. Unpacking gir1.2-signon-2.0:amd64 (2.1-3) ... dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/gir1.2-signon-2.0_2.1-3_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Signon.py', which is also in package gir1.2-signon-1.0 1.14+17.04.20161117-0ubuntu5 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/gir1.2-signon-2.0_2.1-3_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Probably needs a conflicts/replaces dependency added to the newer hirsute package. [Regression Potential] We are adding a replaces with gir1.2-signon-1.0 so anything that depends on that package would be broken but given that that package is no longer available after focal that seems fine.
