Package: rpm Version: 4.7.1-14 Severity: serious Debian packages have traditionally depended for the next stable release on splitted out packages for avoiding users losing a program during upgrading. I'm not seeing any problems doing this here.
Either this happens and you ensure all packages needing rpm2cpio depend on it in squeeze. Then the dependency can safely be dropped after squeeze. Otherwise you have at least to add conflicts with all packages lacking proper rpm2cpio dependencies (e.g. alien (<< 8.79)) to prevent breakages on partial upgrades. Considering the objectives of #540106, it might also be an alternative to simply let rpm depend on rpm2cpio with the intention of keeping the dependency forever. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
