This is about extensions that used to be not provided by the mediawiki base package but suddenly are. We are aware of the issue, and no further analysis is required. Thanks to dpkg cowardly refusing to deal with symlinks to directories in any way, fixing this is absolutely nontrivial. If I were to upload a mediawiki-extensions package without the two in question now, but without including code to fixup this issue on upgrade for existing users, the situation would even worsen(!). So we’ll need to continue doing this until we get a real fix in a maintainer script. And, I fear I can’t quite wrap my head around the entirety of the upgrade fixups required ☹ bye, //mirabilos -- tarent solutions GmbH Rochusstraße 2-4, D-53123 Bonn • http://www.tarent.de/ Tel: +49 228 54881-393 • Fax: +49 228 54881-314 HRB 5168 (AG Bonn) • USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Geschäftsführer: Boris Esser, Sebastian Mancke -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#719208: mediawiki: md5sums for Renameuser{.alias, .i18n, _body}.php files are incorrect
Same problem here as OP. Finally... is Renameuser the only affected extension? Here is my attempt to find matching filenames between the two packages: $ /bin/grep -f (for x in `dpkg -L mediawiki-extensions-base | /bin/grep php` ; do echo /`basename $x` ; done) (dpkg -L mediawiki) /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/interwiki/Interwiki.php /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.i18n.php /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions_body.php /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/ParserFunctions/Expr.php /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/ParserFunctions/Convert.php /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.i18n.magic.php /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/ParserFunctions/testExpr.php /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/Renameuser/renameUserCleanup.php /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/Renameuser/Renameuser_body.php /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/Renameuser/SpecialRenameuser.php /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/Renameuser/Renameuser.php /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/Renameuser/Renameuser.alias.php /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/Renameuser/Renameuser.i18n.php /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/Renameuser/RenameUserJob.php And then we can see the overlap, for example: $ dpkg -S */Interwiki.php */Convert.php mediawiki: /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/interwiki/Interwiki.php mediawiki-extensions-base: /usr/share/mediawiki-extensions/base/Interwiki/Interwiki.php mediawiki: /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/ParserFunctions/Convert.php mediawiki-extensions-base: /usr/share/mediawiki-extensions/base/ParserFunctions/Convert.php In summary: Renameuser, ParserFunctions, and Interwiki(?) are the three extensions where I see potential redundancy issues. It would be good to have a clean separation of these extensions into just one package. In addition to the md5sums issue, when debugging it can be confusing to figure out which one of two instances of these redundant files is actually live, especially with all the sym-linking that goes on in the mediawiki packages. -Zach
