Package: python-quantumclient Version: 2012.1~e3-2 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 quantum-client
# (1)
apt-get install python-quantumclient
apt-get remove python-quantumclient
# (2)
The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical,
but the following files have disappeared:
/usr/{share/pyshared,lib/python2.?/dist-packages}/quantum/client/{__init__,cli,cli_lib}.py
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 python-quantumclient package has the following relationships with
quantum-client:
Conflicts: n/a
Breaks: n/a
Replaces: quantum-client
