--- Begin Message ---Package: python-gobject-dbg Version: 3.2.2-1 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts Hi, an upgrade test with piuparts revealed that your package installs files over existing symlinks and possibly overwrites files owned by other packages. This usually means an old version of the package shipped a symlink but that was later replaced by a real (and non-empty) directory. This kind of overwriting another package's files cannot be detected by dpkg. This was observed on the following upgrade paths: squeeze -> wheezy For /usr/share/doc/PACKAGE this may not be problematic as long as both packages are installed, ship byte-for-byte identical files and are upgraded in lockstep. But once one of the involved packages gets removed, the other one will lose its documentation files, too, including the copyright file, which is a violation of Policy 12.5: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile For other overwritten locations anything interesting may happen. Note that dpkg intentionally does not replace directories with symlinks and vice versa, you need the maintainer scripts to do this. See in particular the end of point 4 in http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-unpackphase For switching from a symlink to a directory, the *preinst* script should do something like this: DOCDIR=/usr/share/doc/@@PACKAGE@@ if [ -L $DOCDIR ] ; then rm $DOCDIR fi >From the attached log (usually somewhere in the middle...): 0m58.6s ERROR: FAIL: silently overwrites files via directory symlinks: /usr/share/doc/python-gobject-dbg/changelog.Debian.gz (python-gobject-dbg) != /usr/share/doc/python-gobject/changelog.Debian.gz (python-gobject) /usr/share/doc/python-gobject-dbg/changelog.gz (python-gobject-dbg) != /usr/share/doc/python-gobject/changelog.gz (python-gobject) /usr/share/doc/python-gobject-dbg/copyright (python-gobject-dbg) != /usr/share/doc/python-gobject/copyright (python-gobject) cheers, Andreas

[ Martin Pitt ] * debian/control.in: Make python-gi-dev Arch: any, as it now uses multiarch paths for the pkg-config file. * debian/control.in: Put transitional packages into section oldlibs, and priority extra. Thanks lintian. * debian/control.in: Fix non-bin-NMUable dependency of python-gobject-dev. * Add lintian overrides to suppress the package-name-doesnt-match-sonames warnings. * Add lintian override for "dbg-package-missing-depends python-gobject-dbg"; this is a transitional package only. * Bump g-i build dependency to >= 1.34.2 to ensure the tests are working. * Add autopkgtests for the -dbg flavours of Python 2 and 3. * debian/control.in: Have python-gi-dev depend on python3-gi, too. (LP: #1101683) . [ Josselin Mouette ] * Enable again gtk3 on m68k. * Add missing dependency python3-gi-cairo → python3-gi. (Closes: #673213) . [ Michael Biebl ] * Stop using a doc symlink for the dbg package. The space savings are negligible and they are prone to cause problems. In case of python-gobject-dbg, which was converted to a transitional package, the symlink was mistakenly converted to a real directory which isn't handled nicely by dpkg. (Closes: #700779) * Use strict dependencies in python-gi-dev as the package is now Architecture: any * Tighten the dependency on python-gi-dev for python-gobject-dev.
