Hi Matthias,
I am sorry for having introduced another problem into the gcc packaging.
As it turns out the *-for-host packages are not actually coinstallable
at present even though they should be. Attempting to do so results in an
unpack error. The root cause for this is the way I implemented
documentation linking where the TOOL-for-host package links to the
TOOL-GNU_TRIPLET package and that triplet is architecture-dependent of
course.
For the cpp-for-host package, there is no more fundamental package that
we could link documentation to, so I propose that it gains a real
documentation directory (thus incurring a symlink_to_dir conversion).
All other *-for-host packages transitively depend on cpp-for-host
already, so I propose making that dependency explicit and linking there.
Please find a patch implementing this conversion attached.
I tested the upgrade path and noticed that after unpacking the
documentation links are not updated reliably. This is due to a corner
case in dpkg where it looks up the actual link targets and if both the
old link and the new link refer to the same directory, it skips
replacing the symbolic link on disk. In a typical upgrade, cpp-for-host
is not the first package to be unpacked and therefore, some of the other
*-for-host packages' documentation links are not updated. (Thanks to
Guillem for pointing at
https://git.dpkg.org/cgit/dpkg/dpkg.git/tree/src/main/archives.c#n793
for understanding the cause.)
It is not clear to me whether this is worth mitigating. The old
documentation symlinks will continue to be valid as we do not loosen any
dependencies. Also dpkg --verify does not spot any issue as the dpkg
database does not record link targets. If the *-for-host packages are
upgraded another time, the links will be corrected. Since the *-for-host
packages have not been part of bookworm and I expect that two more
versions of gcc-defaults reach testing before we release trixie, this
may be a fair compromise.
The alternative likely is adding more maintainer scripts in a similar
way to dpkg-maintscript-helper for doing a symlink_to_symlink
conversion. Let me know if you prefer this route, but I note that we'd
be adding 21 maintainer scripts.
Helmut
