Package: piuparts
Version: 0.76
Severity: normal
User: m...@linux.it
Usertags: usrmerge
Steps to reproduce:
* Make a base tarball by archiving a chroot created with debootstrap from
jessie-backports (which defaults to merged /usr) or with --merged-usr
* Run a basic piuparts install-upgrade-remove-purge test against that base
tarball (in my case it boils down to
piuparts -b minbase.tar.gz -d sid dbus_*.changes)
Expected result:
* Only errors relevant to the package are reported (no errors for a package
that is piuparts-clean, such as dbus)
Actual result:
* Immediately after installing the packages under test, I get:
0m28.8s DEBUG: Command ok: ['chroot', '/tmp/tmp3magVd', 'dpkg-query', '-W',
'-f', '${Status}\\t${binary:Package}\\t${Package}\\t${Version}\\n']
0m29.7s ERROR: FAIL: silently overwrites files via directory symlinks:
/bin/bash (bash) != /usr/bin/bash (?)
/bin -> usr/bin
/bin/cat (coreutils) != /usr/bin/cat (?)
/bin -> usr/bin
(etc.)
I'm filing this as normal rather than wishlist because, although stretch's
debootstrap defaults to unmerged /usr (separate /lib, /sbin etc.), I suspect
that merged /usr might become the default again in the buster release cycle.
In this case I was testing amd64 and i386 builds of the same source code
(dbus from experimental), having rebuilt my amd64 sid base tarball with
debootstrap --no-merged-usr but not yet rebuilt my i386 sid base tarball
with that option. The amd64 test reported no errors, but the i386 test
reported errors as above.
