Package: libsensors-config Version: 1:3.5.0-1 Severity: serious User: [email protected] Usertags: piuparts replaces-without-breaks
Hi, during a test with piuparts and DOSE tools I noticed your package causes removal of files that also belong to another package. This is caused by using Replaces without corresponding Breaks. The installation sequence to reproduce this problem is apt-get install libsensors4 # (1) apt-get install libsensors-config apt-get remove libsensors-config # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: /etc/sensors.d/.placeholder /etc/sensors3.conf This is a serious bug violating policy 7.6, see https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces and also see the footnote that describes this incorrect behavior: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#id13 The libsensors-config package has the following relationships with libsensors4: Conflicts: n/a Breaks: n/a Replaces: libsensors4 >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 34m42.7s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /etc/sensors.d/.placeholder owned by: libsensors-config /etc/sensors3.conf owned by: libsensors-config cheers, Andreas
