Package: libreoffice-common Version: 1:7.0.4-3 Severity: serious User: [email protected] Usertags: piuparts Control: affects -1 + libreoffice-writer libreoffice-draw libreoffice-calc libreoffice-base libreoffice-math
Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'buster'.
It installed fine in 'buster', then the upgrade to 'bullseye' fails.

You already have all the needed Conflicts ...
In this complicated upgrade case I don't see a solution to get
dpkg-maintscript-helper dir_to_symlink to work properly ...
Therefore I'd suggest to not use dir_to_symlink here ... but to
fixup the link in postinst configure:
if [ ! -L /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry ]; then
if [ -d /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry ]; then
# this will fail if the directory is not yet empty
rmdir /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry
fi
ln -s /etc/libreoffice/registry /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry
fi
I would actually go for the fail-if-not-empty case and fix up all the
upgrade paths triggering this.
cheers,
Andreas
PS: for a log time I thought this was just another bug caused by dpkg bug
#983855
but I'm now using a patched dpkg in my piuparts instance ...
