Package: pylint Version: 2.2.2-4 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org 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 pylint3/buster # (1) apt-get install pylint/bullseye apt-get remove pylint # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint* 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 pylint package has the following relationships with pylint3: Conflicts: n/a Breaks: n/a Replaces: pylint3 >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 2m0.1s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint-2.2.2.egg-info/PKG-INFO owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint-2.2.2.egg-info/dependency_links.txt owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint-2.2.2.egg-info/entry_points.txt owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint-2.2.2.egg-info/requires.txt owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint-2.2.2.egg-info/top_level.txt owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint/__init__.py owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint/__main__.py owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint/__pkginfo__.py owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint/checkers/__init__.py owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint/checkers/async.py owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint/checkers/base.py owned by: pylint ... /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint/test/unittest_checkers_utils.py owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint/test/unittest_config.py owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint/test/unittest_lint.py owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint/test/unittest_pyreverse_diadefs.py owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint/test/unittest_pyreverse_inspector.py owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint/test/unittest_pyreverse_writer.py owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint/test/unittest_reporters_json.py owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint/test/unittest_reporting.py owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint/test/unittest_utils.py owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint/testutils.py owned by: pylint /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pylint/utils.py owned by: pylint 2m0.1s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/pylint3.list not owned cheers, Andreas
