--- Begin Message ---Package: python-djblets Version: 0.7~git20120402+dfsg-1 Severity: serious User: trei...@debian.org Usertags: edos-file-overwrite Architecture: amd64 Distribution: squeeze->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 deselected package python-djblets. Unpacking python-djblets (from .../python-djblets_0.7~git20120402+dfsg-1_all.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/python-djblets_0.7~git20120402+dfsg-1_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/pyshared/djblets/__init__.py', which is also in package python-django-djblets 0.5.10~alpha0+git201005030944-2 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 sid (but not within squeeze 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->sid upgrades. Here is a list of files that are known to be shared by both packages (according to the Contents files for squeeze and sid on amd64, which may be slightly out of sync): usr/share/pyshared/djblets/* The following relationships are currently defined: Package: python-djblets 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: python-djblets Breaks: python-django-djblets Replaces: python-django-djblets As python-django-djblets is no longer in Debian, the Breaks/Replaces can be unversioned. As python-djblets is a re-introduction of python-django-djblets into Debian I would recommend to preserve history by appending the old changelog entries (and maybe add an artificial (0.5.10~alpha0+git201005030944-2+rm) changelog entry describing the removal and add something like "repackaged from scratch" to (0.7~git20120402+dfsg-1)). Cheers, Andreas PS: for more information about the detection of file overwrite errors of this kind see http://edos.debian.net/file-overwrites/.
