Package: chromium-common,chromium-shell Version: 61.0.3163.100-2 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from 'stretch'. It installed fine in 'stretch', then the upgrade to 'buster' 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 chromium-common. Preparing to unpack .../chromium-common_61.0.3163.100-2_amd64.deb ...

Preparing to unpack .../8-chromium-shell_61.0.3163.100-2_amd64.deb ... Unpacking chromium-shell (61.0.3163.100-2) ... dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-ZM2SS4/8-chromium-shell_61.0.3163.100-2_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/chromium/content_shell.pak', which is also in package chromium 61.0.3163.100-1~deb9u1 Since I expect chromium to frequently get new upstream releases into stable, I'm afraid you'll have to use Breaks+Replaces: chromium (<< ${binary:Version}) for the buster release cycle to ensure upgrades from stretch continue to work. cheers, Andreas
