Hi Caitlin,
Thanks for your work, it looks great! However it seems to fail to
install when doc-base is already in place:
(Reading database ... 357341 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../socnetv_1.3+dfsg-1_i386.deb ...
Unpacking socnetv (1.3+dfsg-1) over (0.90-3.1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/pbuilder/result/socnetv_1.3+dfsg-1_i386.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc-base/doc-base', which is also in package doc-base 0.10.6
Processing triggers for doc-base (0.10.6) ...
Processing triggers for menu (2.1.47) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/pbuilder/result/socnetv_1.3+dfsg-1_i386.deb
It took me forever to figure this out, and it was the most ridiculous
error. The error message is quite misleading. I had created
"socnetv.doc-base" without noticing the existing "doc-base". One was
installed, then when dpkg tried to process the second one, it found a
conflict.
A few other points:
- base off your release against the current version in unstable
(0.90-3.1) and acknowledge it according to devref 5.11.4
Done. I also altered my part of the changelog, and closed the bug manually.
- debian/rules: drop commented-out entry for override_dh_compress
Done. Oops.
- debian/changelog: merge the 1.2+dfsg-1 & 1.3+dfsg-1 entries (since the
former never got uploaded to sid)
Done.
- explain to upstream (Dimitris in CC) why we're chopping off their
tarball with respect to non-free pdf, and what they can do about it
CC'd you in separate e-mail.
- fix lintian warning
debian-watch-file-should-dversionmangle-not-uversionmangle
This is an ongoing issue, and the warning is going to be dropped. See
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=748465.
Thanks again,
Serafeim
Thanks,
Caitlin
