Package: libcantorlibs28 Version: 4:20.12.1-4 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 cantor/buster # (1) apt-get install libcantorlibs28/bullseye apt-get remove libcantorlibs28 # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: /usr/share/config.kcfg/cantor_libs.kcfg 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 libcantorlibs28 package has the following relationships with cantor: Conflicts: n/a Breaks: n/a Replaces: cantor (<< 4:20.12.0-2~) >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 4m30.6s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /usr/share/config.kcfg/cantor_libs.kcfg owned by: libcantorlibs28 4m30.6s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/cantor.list not owned cheers, Andreas
