Package: dh-make-perl Version: 0.75-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream patch
When creating an updated version of a module that is already in core, the subsequent install fails (as expected) with a message such as: "trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/instmodsh', which is also in package perl 5.14.2-21+deb7u2". Given that dh-make-perl has to be forced into creating core modules, I think it's appropriate to instruct dpkg that the package contains files that replace the core module. This patch does so. If you think it's more appropriate, I'd be happy to create a further doc patch and/or another command line option to go with this patch. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.7 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dh-make-perl depends on: ii debhelper 9.20120909 ii dpkg-dev 1.16.15 ii fakeroot 1.18.4-2 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.26+b1 ii libarray-unique-perl 0.08-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.16.15 ii libemail-address-perl 1.895-1+deb7u1 ii libemail-date-format-perl 1.002-1 ii libfile-which-perl 1.09-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.33-1+b1 ii libmodule-depends-perl 0.16-1 ii libparse-debcontrol-perl 2.005-3 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-1 ii libsoftware-license-perl 0.103004-2 ii libtie-ixhash-perl 1.21-2 ii libwww-mechanize-perl 1.71-1 ii libyaml-perl 0.81-1 ii make 3.81-8.2 ii perl 5.14.2-21+deb7u2 ii perl-modules [libmodule-corelist-perl] 5.14.2-21+deb7u2 Versions of packages dh-make-perl recommends: ii apt-file 2.5.1 ii git 1:1.7.10.4-1+wheezy1 ii pristine-tar 1.25+deb7u1 dh-make-perl suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
