Package: libldns-dev Version: 1.6.13-3 Severity: serious User: trei...@debian.org Usertags: edos-file-overwrite
Architecture: amd64 Distribution: wheezy->sid (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 unselected package ldnsutils. Unpacking ldnsutils (from .../ldnsutils_1.6.13-1_amd64.deb) ... Setting up ldnsutils (1.6.13-1) ... Selecting previously unselected package libldns-dev. Unpacking libldns-dev (from .../libldns-dev_1.6.13-3_amd64.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libldns-dev_1.6.13-3_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/ldns-config.1.gz', which is also in package ldnsutils 1.6.13-1 dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libldns-dev_1.6.13-3_amd64.deb 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 wheezy to sid (but not within wheezy or sid 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/man/man1/ldns-config.1.gz The following relationships are currently defined: Package: libldns-dev Conflicts: n/a Breaks: ldnsutil (<< 1.6.13-2) Replaces: ldnsutil (<< 1.6.13-2) Wrong package name: ldnsutil*s* insufficient version: the man page was still there in -2 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: libldns-dev Breaks: ldnsutils (<< 1.6.13-3) Replaces: ldnsutils (<< 1.6.13-3) Cheers, Andreas PS: for more information about the detection of file overwrite errors of this kind see http://edos.debian.net/file-overwrites/.
