Bug#1065463: debootstrap can deal with native dpkg file replacement feature



05.03.2024 03:36, Steven Shiau :
Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.134
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

As mentioned here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1065394#28
For the moment on Mar/5/2024 in the Debian Sid repository, libuuid1 "Provides:
libuuid1t64 (= 2.39.3-9)", and an exact version of libuuid1t64 which
is not in repos. libuuid1 and libuuid1t64 have "Replaces:" on each other already.
debootstrap should be able to solve the libuuid1t64 dependency by installing libuuid1 only.

I think we should not add complexity to debootstrap just to be able to perform a
transition like this once in 20+ years.
