Severity: normal
Tags: bullseye

[ Reason ]
There is a directory vs. symlink conflict between bsdowl (buster, not in
bullseye) and bmake (buster), causing bsdowl files to and up in a
location behind a symlink from bmake.
bsdowl has been fixed in bookworm and sid, but that happened to late for
bullseye (was already autorm'ed, not reintroducible).
With the Conflicts against the unfixed bsdowl version added to bmake,
the old bsdowl package from buster gets removed on systems upgraded to
bullseye. If someone really need it, I can provide a backport of the
fixed bsdowl from bookworm in bullseye-backports.
[ Impact ]
QA tools warn about files installed over a directory symlink, maybe
silently overwriting other packages files.
[ Tests ]
manual piuparts tests
buster -> bullseye + fix
buster -> bullseye -> bullseye + fix
no longer fail with
ERROR: installs objects over existing directory symlinks:
/usr/share/mk/bps.autoconf.mk (bsdowl) !=
/usr/share/bmake/mk-bmake/bps.autoconf.mk (?)
/usr/share/mk -> bmake/mk-bmake
...
[ Risks ]
Low, only affects packages not part of bullseye.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
- bsdowl ships the files in the new canonical location
- bmake verifies that no other package messes up its symlinks
[ Changes ]
add Conflict against unfixed bsdowl versions, i.e. the version from
buster that may have survived the upgrade to bullseye since bsdowl is
not part of bullseye.
