Package: texlive-xetex Version: 2011.20120410-1 Severity: serious User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts replaces-without-breaks Hi, during a test with piuparts and EDOS 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 texlive-math-extra # (1) apt-get install texlive-xetex apt-get remove texlive-xetex # (2) The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical, but the following files have disappeared: /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/latex/realscripts/README /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/latex/realscripts/realscripts.pdf /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/realscripts/realscripts.sty This is a serious bug violating policy 7.6, see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces and also see the footnote that describes this incorrect behavior http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/footnotes.html#f53 The texlive-xetex package has the following relationships with texlive-math-extra: Conflicts: n/a Breaks: n/a Replaces: texlive-math-extra (<= 2011.20120322-1) >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 1m46.5s INFO: Warning: Package purging left files on system: /var/lib/texmf/web2c/xetex/ not owned 1m46.5s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/latex/realscripts/README owned by: texlive-xetex /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/latex/realscripts/realscripts.pdf owned by: texlive-xetex /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/realscripts/realscripts.sty owned by: texlive-xetex 1m46.5s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/texlive-math-extra.list not owned /var/lib/texmf/ls-R not owned /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXLIVEDIST not owned /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf not owned The modified files are a consequence of the disappeared ones. cheers, Andreas
