Since no upgrade ordering is not guaranteed by the package manager, I'm looking for all possibly problematic (partial) upgrade paths from wheezy to jessie, that includes files being moved from one package to another (that may not have existed in wheezy.) And I try to really excercise all paths not forbidden by Breaks/Conflicts :-)

If the package still exists (even as an empty transitional package), use versioned Breaks+Replaces (<< the-first-version-no-longer-shipping-the-files~) The trailing ~ is recommended for backports-compatibility. Breaks are much easier to handle for the package manager than Conflicts. Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
