Package: libpython3.5-stdlib Version: 3.5.4-1~rc1 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 libpython3.5-testsuite/stretch # (1) apt-get install libpython3.5-stdlib/buster apt-get remove libpython3.5-stdlib # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: /usr/lib/python3.5/test/test_support.py This is a serious bug violating policy 7.6, see https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces and also see the footnote that describes this incorrect behavior https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/footnotes.html#f53 The libpython3.5-stdlib package has the following relationships with libpython3.5-testsuite: Conflicts: n/a Breaks: n/a Replaces: libpython3.5-testsuite (<< 3.5.4~rc1-1) >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 0m52.2s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /usr/lib/python3.5/test/__pycache__/test_support.cpython-35.pyc not owned /usr/lib/python3.5/test/test_support.py owned by: libpython3.5-stdlib:amd64 0m52.2s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/libpython3.5-testsuite.list not owned cheers, Andreas
