Package: gnome-themes-standard Version: Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts replaces-without-breaks
Hi, during a test with piuparts and EDOS 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 gnome-accessibility-themes # (1) apt-get install gnome-themes-standard apt-get remove gnome-themes-standard # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: /usr/share/icons/HighContrast/index.theme /usr/share/icons/HighContrastInverse/index.theme /usr/share/themes/HighContrast/gtk-2.0/gtkrc /usr/share/themes/HighContrast/index.theme /usr/share/themes/HighContrastInverse/gtk-2.0/gtkrc /usr/share/themes/HighContrastInverse/index.theme /usr/share/themes/LowContrast/gtk-2.0/gtkrc /usr/share/themes/LowContrast/index.theme This is a serious bug violating policy 7.6, see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces and also see the footnote that describes this incorrect behavior http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/footnotes.html#f53 The gnome-themes-standard package has the following relationships with gnome-accessibility-themes: Conflicts: n/a Breaks: n/a Replaces: gnome-accessibility-themes (<< 3.0) gnome-accessibility-themes is only available as 2.30.2-1 in squeeze, wheezy, and sid. >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 0m40.0s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /usr/share/icons/HighContrast/index.theme owned by: gnome-themes-standard /usr/share/icons/HighContrastInverse/index.theme owned by: gnome-themes-standard /usr/share/themes/HighContrast/gtk-2.0/gtkrc owned by: gnome-themes-standard /usr/share/themes/HighContrast/index.theme owned by: gnome-themes-standard /usr/share/themes/HighContrastInverse/gtk-2.0/gtkrc owned by: gnome-themes-standard /usr/share/themes/HighContrastInverse/index.theme owned by: gnome-themes-standard /usr/share/themes/LowContrast/gtk-2.0/gtkrc owned by: gnome-themes-standard /usr/share/themes/LowContrast/index.theme owned by: gnome-themes-standard 0m40.0s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/gnome-accessibility-themes.list not owned cheers, Andreas
