Package: libgssdp-1.0-dev Version: 0.12.2.1-1 Severity: serious User: [email protected] Usertags: piuparts replaces-without-breaks
Hi, during a test with piuparts and EDOS tools I noticed your package causes removal of files that also belong to another package. This is caused by using Replaces without corresponding Breaks. This was observed on a partial upgrade from wheezy to sid. The installation sequence to reproduce this problem is apt-get install gupnp-vala/wheezy # (1) apt-get install libgssdp-1.0-dev/sid apt-get remove libgssdp-1.0-dev # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: This is a serious bug violating policy 7.6, see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces and also see the footnote that describes this incorrect behavior http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/footnotes.html#f53 The libgssdp-1.0-dev package has the following relationships with gupnp-vala: Conflicts: n/a Breaks: n/a Replaces: gupnp-vala (<= 0.10.4) Adding Breaks: gupnp-vala (<= 0.10.4) should solve this issue. >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): Selecting previously unselected package gupnp-vala.
