Package: fwupd Version: 1.3.9-4 Severity: serious User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts replaces-without-breaks Hi, during a test with piuparts and DOSE tools I noticed your package causes removal of files that also belong to another package. This is caused by using Replaces without corresponding Breaks. The installation sequence to reproduce this problem is apt-get install fwupdate/stable # (1) apt-get install fwupd apt-get remove fwupd # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: /usr/bin/fwupdate /usr/share/man/man1/fwupdate.1.gz /var/lib/fwupdate/ This is a serious bug violating policy 7.6, see https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces and also see the footnote that describes this incorrect behavior: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#id13 The fwupd package has the following relationships with fwupdate: Conflicts: n/a Breaks: n/a Replaces: fwupdate (<< 12-7) Provides: fwupdate >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 0m32.0s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /usr/bin/fwupdate owned by: fwupd /usr/share/man/man1/fwupdate.1.gz owned by: fwupd /var/lib/fwupdate/ owned by: fwupdate 0m32.0s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/fwupdate.list not owned cheers, Andreas
