Package: phpunit-story Version: 1.0.0-1 Severity: serious User: trei...@debian.org Usertags: edos-file-overwrite
Architecture: amd64
Distribution: squeeze->wheezy (partial) upgrade
Hi,
automatic installation tests of packages that share a file and at the
same time do not conflict by their package dependency relationships has
detected the following problem:
Selecting previously deselected package phpunit.
Unpacking phpunit (from .../phpunit_3.4.14-1_all.deb) ...
Setting up phpunit (3.4.14-1) ...
Selecting previously deselected package phpunit-story.
Unpacking phpunit-story (from .../phpunit-story_1.0.0-1_all.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/phpunit-story_1.0.0-1_all.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Extensions/Story/When.php',
which is also in package phpunit 3.4.14-1
This is a serious bug as it makes installation/upgrade fail, and
violates sections 7.6.1 and 10.1 of the policy.
As this problem can be demonstrated during partial upgrades from squeeze
to wheezy (but not within squeeze or wheezy itself), this indicates a
missing or insufficiently versioned Replaces+Breaks relationship.
But since this particular upgrade ordering is not forbidden by any
dependency relationship, it is possible that apt (or $PACKAGE_MANAGER)
will use this erroneus path on squeeze->wheezy upgrades.
Here is a list of files that are known to be shared by both packages
(according to the Contents files for squeeze and wheezy on amd64, which
may be slightly out of sync):
usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Extensions/Story/Given.php
usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Extensions/Story/ResultPrinter.php
usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Extensions/Story/ResultPrinter/HTML.php
usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Extensions/Story/ResultPrinter/Template/scenario.html.dist
usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Extensions/Story/ResultPrinter/Template/scenario_header.html.dist
usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Extensions/Story/ResultPrinter/Template/scenarios.html.dist
usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Extensions/Story/ResultPrinter/Template/step.html.dist
usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Extensions/Story/ResultPrinter/Text.php
usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Extensions/Story/Scenario.php
usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Extensions/Story/Step.php
usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Extensions/Story/TestCase.php
usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Extensions/Story/Then.php
usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Extensions/Story/When.php
The following relationships are currently defined:
Package: phpunit-story
Conflicts: n/a
Breaks: n/a
Replaces: n/a
The following relationships should be added for a clean takeover of
these files
(http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces):
Package: phpunit-story
Breaks: phpunit (<< 3.6.10)
Replaces: phpunit (<< 3.6.10)
Cheers,
Andreas
