Package: xul-ext-sieve Version: 0.2.3h+dfsg-2 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package removes files that
were installed by another package.
The removed files were already present before the package was installed,
they may have been shipped or created by a dependency.
This was observed on tests from jessie directly to sid as well as from
stretch to sid.
>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

This code from the preinst looks extremely fishy
(I only looked at the diff between -1 and -2):
+ # versions prior to 0.2.3h+dfsg-2 either shipped a copy of codemirror or
+ # symlinks inside the CodeMirror directory. Make sure the directory is
+ # removed so it can be replaces with the symlink.
+ if [ -d
/usr/share/xul-ext/sieve/chrome/chromeFiles/content/libs/CodeMirror ] ; then
+ rm -rf
/usr/share/xul-ext/sieve/chrome/chromeFiles/content/libs/CodeMirror
fi
1.) this sounds like you should use
dpkg-maintscript-helper dir_to_symlink ...
2.) there is no version check at all ...
but I still fail to see how this could remove the above files ...
cheers,
Andreas
