Package: xz-utils
Version: 5.1.1alpha+20110809-3
Severity: wishlist
When upgrading via aptitude, xz-utils upgrade is not smooth because of
conflict with xz-lzma.
I see:
|Package: xz-utils
|Architecture: any
|Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
|Multi-Arch: foreign
|Conflicts: lzma (<< 9.22-1), xz-lzma
|Breaks: lzip (<< 1.8~rc2)
|Replaces: lzip (<< 1.8~rc2), xz-lzma
|Provides: lzma
I am not so bright on this matter but policy has:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-conflicts
So use of Conflicts: for lzma and xz-lzma may be too strong.
I wonder following may be something you wish to do.
|Package: xz-utils
|Architecture: any
|Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
|Multi-Arch: foreign
|Breaks: lzma (<< 9.22-1), xz-lzma (<= 5.1.1alpha+20120614-1), lzip (<<
1.8~rc2)
|Replaces: lzma, lzip, xz-lzma
Also add dummy transitional package for xz-lzma in next release.
Then everything should go without question.
Please note dummy upgrade packages goes to oldlibs. See:
