Thank you for your attention to detail. Your analysis is mostly correct. In particular, the declared dependencies on systemd-sysv make the failure mode very unlikely - hence downgrading the bug. Stil Depends does not impact the unpack phase. In principle, you may have a system with bfh-container on bookworm (thus having systemd-sysv) and then upgrade to trixie while at the same time converting to sysvinit-core (unlikely). When doing that, bfh-container may get into a deconfigured state, systemd-sysv can be removed and sysvinit-core may be unpacked before bfh-container is actually removed. In this scenario, bfh-container.postrm would cause /usr/sbin/halt to vanish. As such, I think we should apply Conflicts here to avoid the underlying situation. Helmut

I'm missing something for sure here, but sysvinit-core has a conflict with systemd-sysv and both bfh-container and progress-linux-container depends on systemd-sysv so they already should not be installed at the same time in a system regardless of the versioned conflicts you are adding.. ?

Bug#1065146: sysvinit-core: /usr/sbin/halt and others ineffectively diverted (DEP17)
Package: sysvinit-core Version: 3.08-7 Severity: serious Tags: patch User: helm...@debian.org Usertags: dep17p3 Control: affects -1 + bfh-container progress-linux-container Hi, thanks for applying my earlier /usr-move patch #1060139. Since authoring it, the mitigations for ineffective diversions have been added to diverters, but one missing piece remains. We must not upgrade sysvinit-core before the diverters have duplicated their diversions or we may cause file loss. To achieve this, sysvinit-core needs to gain two more versioned Conflicts beyond molly-guard to be found in the attached patch.
