Package: texlive-binaries Version: 2020.20200327.54578-2 Severity: serious Justification: Policy §7.6.1
The upgrade transaction for the texlive family, version 2020.20200329-2 failed for me with a file overwrite (transcript below). This is non-deterministic based on the order in which apt chooses to upgrade packages, so it won't happen to everyone. Workaround: as with most bugs involving files moving between packages, "apt-get -f install" or "g, g" in aptitude will often sort it out (although, again, not deterministically). In my case it succeeded on the second attempt in aptitude. To solve this for other testing/unstable users and for future buster -> bullseye upgrades, I think texlive-binaries needs to gain: Breaks: texlive-extra-utils (<< 2020.20200329-2~) Replaces: texlive-extra-utils (<< 2020.20200329-2~) as documented in <https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-in-other-packages> and <https://wiki.debian.org/PackageTransition>. In practice you can probably relax the version constraint to (<< 2020.20200329) or even (<< 2020) if you know when the file involved moved between packages, but using the full version as suggested above is the safe/conservative option. Thanks for maintaining this family of huge packages! smcv Preparing to unpack .../04-texlive_2020.20200329-2_all.deb ...
