Package: xz-utils
Version: 5.4.0-0.1
Dear developer,
I'm not sure if it's the right place to report the bug since it involves
a conflict with a backport.
Today I tried to upgrade a Bullseye laptop to Bookworm.
The upgrade crashed with xz-utils trying to overwrite
/usr/share/man/fr/man1/xz.1.gz which belonged to manpages-fr from
backports (4.16.0-3~bpo11+1).
After running dpkg --force-overwrite (it's the only way I know of in
such situations), a whole bunch of manual pages were overwritten :
/usr/share/man/fr/man1/xz.1.gz
/usr/share/man/fr/man1/xzdiff.1.gz
/usr/share/man/fr/man1/xzless.1.gz
/usr/share/man/fr/man1/xzmore.1.gz
/usr/share/man/fr/man1/lzcat.1.gz
/usr/share/man/fr/man1/lzcmp.1.gz
/usr/share/man/fr/man1/lzdiff.1.gz
/usr/share/man/fr/man1/lzless.1.gz
/usr/share/man/fr/man1/lzma.1.gz
/usr/share/man/fr/man1/lzmore.1.gz
/usr/share/man/fr/man1/unlzma.1.gz
/usr/share/man/fr/man1/unxz.1.gz
/usr/share/man/fr/man1/xzcat.1.gz
/usr/share/man/fr/man1/xzcmp.1.gz
I don't see a clean solution to ensure a smooth upgrade for people who
have installed this backport. Maybe coordinate with manpages-fr
maintainer and release updated backports for both packages, before
Bookworm is released ?
Regards,

No need to get mad.
First of all, I apologize that I did not notice that it was on
manpages-l10n at the moment, because the title was still referencing
xz-utils and the discussion was quite involved.
And indeed, this bugs is closed in 4.17.0-2~bpo11+1, as you can see in
its changelog. Since uploads to backports don't close bugs (a bug
elsewhere …) I do so now.
Greetings
Helge
