Package: ffmpeg Version: 7:2.5.4-1 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to co-install with libav-tools from wheezy. libav-tools installed fine in 'wheezy', then the upgrade to ffmpeg/'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 ffmpeg. Unpacking ffmpeg (from .../ffmpeg_7%3a2.5.4-1_amd64.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ffmpeg_7%3a2.5.4-1_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/ffplay.1.gz', which is also in package libav-tools 6:0.8.16-1 dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/ffmpeg_7%3a2.5.4-1_amd64.deb Since there is no ffmpeg package in jessie, adding these Breaks+Replaces would ease some upgrade paths from wheezy as well as possible backporting. In libav (6:9~beta1-1) the compatibility links for ff* tools were removed. cheers, Andreas
