Package: enigma Version: 1.10~~pre-alpha+r2210-1 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 enigma-data # (1) apt-get install enigma apt-get remove enigma # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: /usr/share/applications/enigma.desktop 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 enigma package has the following relationships with enigma-data: Conflicts: n/a Breaks: n/a Replaces: enigma-data >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 0m29.1s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /usr/share/applications/enigma.desktop owned by: enigma 0m29.1s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/enigma-data.list not owned cheers, Andreas
