Package: plymouth-x11 Version: 0.8.8-3 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts Control: affects -1 + plymouth-dev
Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from 'squeeze'. It installed fine in 'squeeze', then the upgrade to 'sid' fails because it tries to overwrite files that are owned by other packages without declaring a Breaks+Replaces relation. See policy 7.6 at http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces This problem is exposed during the upgrade of the 'EXPOSER' package, not by upgrading only the buggy package itself. In order to have piuparts automatically track this problem, I'll mark this bug as Affects/Found in the exposing package(s), too. >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): Selecting previously unselected package plymouth-x11. Unpacking plymouth-x11 (from .../plymouth-x11_0.8.8-3_amd64.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/plymouth-x11_0.8.8-3_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/plymouth-log-viewer.desktop', which is also in package plymouth 0.8.3-9.2 cheers, Andreas
