Bug#2498: sysvinit should conflict with last
Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.59-1
The last package is being replaced by a last binary contained in the new
sysvinit. But sysvinit fails to tell dpkg about a Conflicts: last so that the
last package remains in a half-installed state after sysvinit-2.59-1 is
installed:
edd@miles:~> dpkg -l last
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Rev Description
+++-============-=========-====-===============================================
ii last 5 13 The GNU last utility.
edd@miles:~> dpkg -L last
/.
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/man
/usr/man/man1
/usr/doc
/usr/doc/copyright
/usr/doc/copyright/last
Not that the binary and the man page are no longer listed as dpkg correctly
deleted them, given that they are now in sysvinit.
