Package: displaycal Version: 3.7.1.3-4 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 dispcalgui/stretch # (1) apt-get install displaycal/buster apt-get remove displaycal # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: /etc/xdg/autostart/z-displaycal-apply-profiles.desktop owned by: displaycal /usr/bin/displaycal owned by: displaycal /usr/bin/displaycal-3dlut-maker owned by: displaycal /usr/bin/displaycal-apply-profiles owned by: displaycal /usr/bin/displaycal-curve-viewer owned by: displaycal /usr/bin/displaycal-profile-info owned by: displaycal ... /usr/share/man/man1/displaycal-scripting-client.1.gz owned by: displaycal /usr/share/man/man1/displaycal-synthprofile.1.gz owned by: displaycal /usr/share/man/man1/displaycal-testchart-editor.1.gz owned by: displaycal /usr/share/man/man1/displaycal-vrml-to-x3d-converter.1.gz owned by: displaycal /usr/share/man/man1/displaycal.1.gz owned by: displaycal 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 displaycal package has the following relationships with dispcalgui: Conflicts: n/a Breaks: n/a Replaces: dispcalgui Since dispcalgui is a transitional package since 3.6.1.0-1 you should add/update Breaks+Replaces: dispcalgui (<< 3.6.1.0) in the displaycal package. >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 0m41.7s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /etc/xdg/autostart/z-displaycal-apply-profiles.desktop owned by: displaycal /usr/bin/displaycal owned by: displaycal /usr/bin/displaycal-3dlut-maker owned by: displaycal /usr/bin/displaycal-apply-profiles owned by: displaycal /usr/bin/displaycal-curve-viewer owned by: displaycal /usr/bin/displaycal-profile-info owned by: displaycal ... /usr/share/man/man1/displaycal-scripting-client.1.gz owned by: displaycal /usr/share/man/man1/displaycal-synthprofile.1.gz owned by: displaycal /usr/share/man/man1/displaycal-testchart-editor.1.gz owned by: displaycal /usr/share/man/man1/displaycal-vrml-to-x3d-converter.1.gz owned by: displaycal /usr/share/man/man1/displaycal.1.gz owned by: displaycal 0m41.7s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /etc/mailcap not owned /var/lib/dpkg/info/dispcalgui.list not owned cheers, Andreas
