Package: pahole Version: 1.22-8 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 dwarves/stable # (1) apt-get install pahole apt-get remove pahole # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: /usr/bin/btfdiff /usr/bin/codiff /usr/bin/ctracer /usr/bin/dtagnames /usr/bin/fullcircle /usr/bin/pahole /usr/bin/pdwtags /usr/bin/pfunct /usr/bin/pglobal /usr/bin/prefcnt /usr/bin/scncopy /usr/bin/syscse /usr/share/dwarves/runtime/Makefile /usr/share/dwarves/runtime/ctracer_relay.c /usr/share/dwarves/runtime/ctracer_relay.h /usr/share/dwarves/runtime/linux.blacklist.cu /usr/share/man/man1/pahole.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 pahole package has the following relationships with dwarves: Conflicts: n/a Breaks: n/a Replaces: dwarves (<< 1.22) >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 0m33.5s DEBUG: Modified(user, group, mode, size, target): /var/lib/dpkg/info/dwarves.list expected(root, root, - 100644, 697, None) != found(root, root, - 100644, 292, None) 0m33.5s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /usr/bin/btfdiff owned by: pahole /usr/bin/codiff owned by: pahole /usr/bin/ctracer owned by: pahole /usr/bin/dtagnames owned by: pahole /usr/bin/fullcircle owned by: pahole /usr/bin/pahole owned by: pahole /usr/bin/pdwtags owned by: pahole /usr/bin/pfunct owned by: pahole /usr/bin/pglobal owned by: pahole /usr/bin/prefcnt owned by: pahole /usr/bin/scncopy owned by: pahole /usr/bin/syscse owned by: pahole /usr/share/dwarves/runtime/Makefile owned by: pahole /usr/share/dwarves/runtime/ctracer_relay.c owned by: pahole /usr/share/dwarves/runtime/ctracer_relay.h owned by: pahole /usr/share/dwarves/runtime/linux.blacklist.cu owned by: pahole /usr/share/man/man1/pahole.1.gz owned by: pahole 0m33.5s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/dwarves.list not owned cheers, Andreas
