Package: librust-syn-1-dev Version: 1.0.109-2 Severity: serious Justification: fails to (co)install Control: affects -1 + src:rust-fd-find User: debian-cr...@lists.debian.org Usertags: ftcbfs X-Debbugs-Cc: de...@lists.debian.org
librust-syn-1-dev has (among other things) the following metadata: Provides: librust-syn-1.0.109-dev Breaks: librust-syn-1.0.109-dev Multi-Arch: same It is not clear to me what this is supposed to mean. Can you shed some light on what this is supposed to achieve? In any case, apt and dpkg disagree about what this shall mean. apt thinks that self-breaks are to be ignored and asks dpkg to configure both of these packages, but dpkg doesn't like that: | dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of librust-syn-1-dev:amd64: | librust-syn-1-dev:arm64 (1.0.109-2) breaks librust-syn-1.0.109-dev and is unpacked but not configured. | librust-syn-1-dev:amd64 (1.0.109-2) provides librust-syn-1.0.109-dev. | | dpkg: error processing package librust-syn-1-dev:amd64 (--configure): | dependency problems - leaving unconfigured You can reproduce the installation failure using: mmdebstrap unstable /dev/null --architectures=amd64,arm64 --variant=apt --include=librust-syn-1-dev:amd64,librust-syn-1-dev:arm64 If apt and dose were refusing this situation this were a normal bug at best. But since dpkg fails badly and leaves the system in an inconsistent state, I am raising this to rc-severity. Even if we deem this to be an apt bug or dpkg bug in the end, librust-syn-1-dev must still be changed since we cannot depend on fixed versions of package managers being used to install packages.
