RFH: Breaks (<< $version) for moving conffiles vs. dpkg updating package version too early?
Hi,
I've re-built a version of libirt, which has:
> Package: libvirt-daemon-system
> Replaces: libvirt-bin (<< 1.2.7-4~)
> Conflicts: libvirt-bin (<< 1.2.6-1~)
...
> Package: libvirt-bin
> Depends: libvirt-daemon-system (>= ${binary:Version}),
The old "libvirt-bin" package (0.9.12-5) contained
"/etc/default/libvirt-guests", which got moved to
"libvirt-daemon-system" for 1.2.7, thus the "Replaces".
During the package upgrade "dpkg" complains about the file still being
owned by "libvirt-bin" and prevents "libvirt-daemon-system" from taking
over the file
> Entpacken von libvirt-daemon-system (aus .../libvirt-daemon-system_1.2.7-11_amd64.deb) ...

Looking into "/var/lib/dpkg/status" I see:
> Package: libvirt-bin
> Status: install ok unpacked
> Version: 1.2.7-11
> Config-Version: 0.9.12-5
To me it looks like dpkg already uses the *new* version "1.2.7-11" of
"libvirt-bin" after unpacking, which prevent the "Replaces << 1.2.7-4"
of "libvirt-daemon-system" from being allowed.
Is this a know bug (of dpkg) or did I misunderstand anything?
dpkg 1.16.16
Thanks in advance.
Philipp
PS: To my understanding the "Conflicts" should be changed to "Breaks",
but that's another issue.
