Thanks for noticing it. I hoped FTP masters to accept only the second
package, to avoid having jfugue in Debian at all, and hoped that
supporting the name change wasn't needed, but probably I'll have to deal
with it anyway. Shame on me for not putting the right name on the first
time.

I'll do a third upload ASAP to fix these issues.

Thanks, Giovanni.

Bug#649601: libjfugue-java: can't cleanly updgrade from jfugue to libjfugue-java

[Gergely Nagy]

Package: libjfugue-java
Version: 4.0.3-2
Severity: important

I had jfugue installed earlier, but with 4.0.3-2, it was
renamed. However, no conflicts or replaces were added to libjfugue-java,
so when I tried to install it, the following happened:

$ sudo aptitude install libjfugue-java
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree   
Reading state information... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libjfugue-java

  Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


I believe a Conflict/Replaces is in order at least, to smoothen the
upgrade path for those few who installed the package before the rename.

And FYI, the jfugue package is still part of unstable, even if it's not
built from the source anymore:

$ apt-cache policy jfugue
jfugue:
  Installed: 4.0.3-1
  Candidate: 4.0.3-1
  Version table:
 *** 4.0.3-1 0
500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

You might wish to request its removal.
