Package: apt-config-auto-update Version: 1.0.0-2 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from 'wheezy'. It installed fine in 'wheezy', then the upgrade to 'sid' fails because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a Breaks+Replaces relation. See policy 7.6 at https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): Selecting previously unselected package apt-config-auto-update. Unpacking apt-config-auto-update (from .../apt-config-auto-update_1.0.0-2_all.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/apt-config-auto-update_1.0.0-2_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20archive', which is also in package update-notifier-common 0.99.3debian11 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/apt-config-auto-update_1.0.0-2_all.deb update-notifier-common is not part of jessie, but may survive the upgrade from wheezy to jessie, and apt-config-auto-update is not part of jessie either, but to ensure smooth upgrades wheezy->jessie->stretch, it needs to add Breaks+Replaces: update-notifier-common This would also be needed for backporting it to jessie-backports at some point. cheers, Andreas
