Package: samba4 Version: 4.0.0~alpha8+git20090912-1 Severity: important User: [email protected] Usertags: incorrect-provides
An archive wide check of the init.d script headers just reported that the new samba4 package uploaded to Debian/unstable have conflicting provides with the samba package. This make it impossible to install both packages at the same time, and to install one of the packages if the other was installed earlier and have not been purged. I recommend changing the provides for the samba4 script to samba4. There are currently 2 scripts with a relation to the samba init.d provide. This is cups and freeradius. The details can be found at <URL:http://lintian.debian.org/~pere/test-20090917.log> and <URL:http://lintian.debian.org/~pere/test-20090917-headers.log>. It might be an idea to introduce a new virtual facilty for samba, see <URL: http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DebianVirtualFacilities > for the details. <URL: http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_2.1.0/LSB-generic/LSB-generic/initscrcomconv.html > documents the LSB header format. Some debian notes are available from <URL: http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts >.
