Package: libreoffice-common Version: 1:7.0.4-3 Severity: serious User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts Control: affects -1 + libreoffice-writer libreoffice-draw libreoffice-calc libreoffice-base libreoffice-math Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from 'buster'. It installed fine in 'buster', then the upgrade to 'bullseye' fails. >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): Preparing to unpack .../0-ure_1%3a7.0.4-3_amd64.deb ...

Errors were encountered while processing: /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-sERX6l/3-libreoffice-common_1%3a7.0.4-3_all.deb You already have all the needed Conflicts ... In this complicated upgrade case I don't see a solution to get dpkg-maintscript-helper dir_to_symlink to work properly ... Therefore I'd suggest to not use dir_to_symlink here ... but to fixup the link in postinst configure: if [ ! -L /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry ]; then if [ -d /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry ]; then # this will fail if the directory is not yet empty rmdir /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry fi ln -s /etc/libreoffice/registry /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry fi I would actually go for the fail-if-not-empty case and fix up all the upgrade paths triggering this. cheers, Andreas PS: for a log time I thought this was just another bug caused by dpkg bug #983855 but I'm now using a patched dpkg in my piuparts instance ...
