Package: tcl-hamlib,lua-hamlib Version: 4.0-4 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 libhamlib2-tcl/buster # (1) apt-get install tcl-hamlib/bullseye apt-get remove tcl-hamlib # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: 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 tcl-hamlib package has the following relationships with libhamlib2-tcl: Conflicts: n/a Breaks: n/a Replaces: libhamlib2-tcl (<< 4.0) Provides: libhamlib2-tcl >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 1m39.3s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tcl8.6/Hamlib/hamlibtcl.so -> hamlibtcl-3.3.so owned by: tcl-hamlib /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tcl8.6/Hamlib/pkgIndex.tcl owned by: tcl-hamlib 1m39.3s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/libhamlib2-tcl.list not owned 1m24.3s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lua/5.2/Hamliblua.so -> ../../liblua5.2-hamlib2.so.0.0.0 owned by: lua-hamlib:amd64 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lua/5.3/Hamliblua.so -> ../../liblua5.3-hamlib2.so.0.0.0 owned by: lua-hamlib:amd64 1m24.3s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/lua-hamlib2:amd64.list not owned cheers, Andreas
