Package: kconfig-frontends Version: 4.11.0.1+dfsg-4 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 kconfig-frontends-nox # (1) apt-get install kconfig-frontends apt-get remove kconfig-frontends # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: /usr/bin/kconfig /usr/bin/kconfig-conf /usr/bin/kconfig-diff /usr/bin/kconfig-gettext /usr/bin/kconfig-mconf /usr/bin/kconfig-merge /usr/bin/kconfig-nconf /usr/bin/kconfig-tweak /usr/include/kconfig/expr.h /usr/include/kconfig/list.h /usr/include/kconfig/lkc.h /usr/include/kconfig/lkc_proto.h /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkconfig-parser-4.11.0.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkconfig-parser.la /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkconfig-parser.so -> libkconfig-parser-4.11.0.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/kconfig-parser.pc /usr/share/doc/kconfig-frontends/kconfig-language.txt.gz /usr/share/doc/kconfig-frontends/kconfig.txt.gz /usr/share/man/man1/kconfig-conf.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/kconfig-diff.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/kconfig-gettext.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/kconfig-mconf.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/kconfig-merge.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/kconfig-nconf.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/kconfig-tweak.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/kconfig.1.gz 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 kconfig-frontends package has the following relationships with kconfig-frontends-nox: Conflicts: n/a Breaks: n/a Replaces: kconfig-frontends-nox Provides: kconfig-frontends-nox >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 0m41.3s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /usr/bin/kconfig owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/bin/kconfig-conf owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/bin/kconfig-diff owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/bin/kconfig-gettext owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/bin/kconfig-mconf owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/bin/kconfig-merge owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/bin/kconfig-nconf owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/bin/kconfig-tweak owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/include/kconfig/expr.h owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/include/kconfig/list.h owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/include/kconfig/lkc.h owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/include/kconfig/lkc_proto.h owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkconfig-parser-4.11.0.so owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkconfig-parser.la owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkconfig-parser.so -> libkconfig-parser-4.11.0.so owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/kconfig-parser.pc owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/share/doc/kconfig-frontends/kconfig-language.txt.gz owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/share/doc/kconfig-frontends/kconfig.txt.gz owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/share/man/man1/kconfig-conf.1.gz owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/share/man/man1/kconfig-diff.1.gz owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/share/man/man1/kconfig-gettext.1.gz owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/share/man/man1/kconfig-mconf.1.gz owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/share/man/man1/kconfig-merge.1.gz owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/share/man/man1/kconfig-nconf.1.gz owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/share/man/man1/kconfig-tweak.1.gz owned by: kconfig-frontends /usr/share/man/man1/kconfig.1.gz owned by: kconfig-frontends 0m41.3s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/kconfig-frontends-nox.list not owned cheers, Andreas
