Package: dpkg Version: 1.18.4 Severity: normal Hi dpkg maintainers,
I am doing upgrade tests of the texlive package from jessie to sid, and I see the following output: Preparing to unpack .../musixtex_1%3a1.20.ctan20151216-3_all.deb ... dpkg-query: package 'musixtex' is not installed Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. Unpacking musixtex (1:1.20.ctan20151216-3) over (1:1.15.ctan20131214-1) ... what is strange here is that dpkg-query says not installed, but later unpacking ... over ... Also, the file /etc/texmf/fmt.d/40musixtex.cnf is not removed then. The maintainer scripts of musixtex 1:1.20.ctan20151216-3 only contain calls to dpkg-maintscript-helper: preinst: dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/texmf/updmap.d/20musixtex.cfg 1:0.115-2 -- "$@" dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/texmf/fmt.d/40musixtex.cnf 1:1.17.ctan20150601-1~ -- "$@" and so on. Noting else in the maintainer scripts. The debian/musixtex.maintscript lists: rm_conffile /etc/texmf/updmap.d/20musixtex.cfg 1:0.115-2 rm_conffile /etc/texmf/fmt.d/40musixtex.cnf 1:1.17.ctan20150601-1~ Thanks for any input.
