[Debian-ha-maintainers] Bug#985173: pacemaker-resource-agents: missing Breaks+Replaces: pacemaker (<< 2)

[wferi at niif.hu]

Hi Andreas,

Sorry for not responding sooner, some mail forwarding problem
intervened.  Looks like there's another serious problem with the
security upload breaking the buster upgrade path, see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=981088.  I haven't
asked the Security Team yet, but if that problem can be solved through
the security channel, then maybe this one could be as well?  I mean a
hypothetical 1.1.24-0+deb9u2 upload would (besides introducing the new
binary packages for the new SONAMEs to fix #981088) also move
/usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/pacemaker/ifspeed from pacemaker into
pacemaker-resource-agents, fixing the buster upgrade.  Do you think that
would work out well?  Or should we push this change regardless into
buster and unstable and bullseye?

(I understand that introducing libpe-status16 wouldn't fix the damage
already done by 1.1.24-0+deb9u2, and the workaround (upgrading
pacemaker-cli-utils) is easy and already happened anyway in most of the
cases.  So we could also follow the tactic of leaving stretch-security
alone, and tighten Breaks+Replaces in buster and beyond as you
implemented here.)
