Package: python3-dkim Version: 0.8.0-1 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts replaces-without-breaks
Hi, during a test with piuparts and DOSE tools I noticed your package causes removal of files that also belong to another package. This is caused by using Replaces without corresponding Breaks. The installation sequence to reproduce this problem is apt-get install python-dkim/stretch # (1) apt-get install python3-dkim/buster apt-get remove python3-dkim # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: /usr/bin/arcsign /usr/bin/arcverify /usr/bin/dkimsign /usr/bin/dkimverify /usr/bin/dknewkey /usr/share/man/man1/arcsign.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/arcverify.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/dkimsign.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/dkimverify.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/dknewkey.1.gz This is a serious bug violating policy 7.6, see https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces and also see the footnote that describes this incorrect behavior https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ (old: footnotes.html#f53) [footnote permalink broken (#879048), search for /To see why/] The python3-dkim package has the following relationships with python-dkim: Conflicts: n/a Breaks: n/a Replaces: python-dkim (<< 0.8.0~) >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 1m3.6s DEBUG: Modified(user, group, mode, size, target): /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-dkim.list expected(root, root, - 100644, 2041, None) != found(root, root, - 100644, 1777, None) 1m3.6s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /usr/bin/arcsign owned by: python3-dkim /usr/bin/arcverify owned by: python3-dkim /usr/bin/dkimsign owned by: python3-dkim /usr/bin/dkimverify owned by: python3-dkim /usr/bin/dknewkey owned by: python3-dkim /usr/share/man/man1/arcsign.1.gz owned by: python3-dkim /usr/share/man/man1/arcverify.1.gz owned by: python3-dkim /usr/share/man/man1/dkimsign.1.gz owned by: python3-dkim /usr/share/man/man1/dkimverify.1.gz owned by: python3-dkim /usr/share/man/man1/dknewkey.1.gz owned by: python3-dkim 1m3.6s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-dkim.list not owned cheers, Andreas
