Here is the revised preinst that should cover the different problems outlined: https://salsa.debian.org/efi-team/fwupdate/commit/85533b1f392399ee53f88e71091044a69dabbdc4
It hasn't yet been uploaded to unstable, would like to align the correct thing to do with breaks/conflicts first and do upload with both at same time. > There is also a bug in the packaging, which is that fwupdate has an unversioned Breaks: against fwupdate-signed; if this is required, it should be an unversioned Conflicts: instead. However, per the previous comment, I think we probably need to do something else here (such as making fwupdate-signed also be a dummy package built from fwupdate source which depends on fwupd-signed, or dropping the Breaks: entirely and ignoring the fact that fwupdate-signed is kept on disk, if that is appropriate). In Ubuntu fwupdate-signed has always been a real source package and real binary package. However in Debian fwupdate-signed has never existed, it has always been fwupdate-signed-$ARCH. So the Breaks that is there is entirely for the purpose of Ubuntu transitioning. In my opinion it would be better to avoid having to introduce a fwupdate-signed binary package in the fwupdate source package in Debian just for the purpose of Ubuntu transitioning. I think that keeping fwupdate-signed on the disk is not an appropriate action, at least not without changes to fwupdate-signed. It calls in a postinstall script /usr/lib/fwupdate/install which is not longer provided by the fwupdate package. I think that leaves two options then: 1) Remove unversioned Breaks: fwupdate-signed from fwupdate source package, convert fwupdate-signed into transition package in Ubuntu as part of this SRU. 2) Change unversioned Breaks: fwupdate-signed from fwupdate source package into unversioned Conflicts: fwupdate-signed. >From Steve's comment, I'm not sure this would work though. So I think my >preference would be <1> above. Steve, can you validate that <1> should likely work? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1820768 Title: [SRU] support new cab and new docking firmware upgrade in fwupd 1.2.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1820768/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
