[Pkg-dpdk-devel] Bug#921042: dpdk-dev: dpdk 18.11-4 and dpdk-dev conflict

[Nicolas S. Dade]

Package: dpdk-dev
Version: 18.11-4~bpo9+1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Installing the dpdk-dev-18.11-4~bpo9+1 is not possible. dpkg refuses,
claiming dpdk-dev breaks dpdk 18.11-4. For example:


# dpkg --install dpdk-dev_18.11-4~bpo9+1_amd64.deb 
Selecting previously unselected package dpdk-dev. 
dpkg: regarding dpdk-dev_18.11-4~bpo9+1_amd64.deb containing dpdk-dev: 
dpdk-dev breaks dpdk (<< 18.11-4) 
 dpdk (version 18.11-4~bpo9+1) is present and installed. 

dpkg: error processing archive dpdk-dev_18.11-4~bpo9+1_amd64.deb (--install): 
installing dpdk-dev would break dpdk, and 
deconfiguration is not permitted (--auto-deconfigure might help) 
Errors were encountered while processing: 
dpdk-dev_18.11-4~bpo9+1_amd64.deb


The Replaces lines in the debian/control file for the dpdk and dpdk-dev
sections look strange to me. Why would dpdk replace dpdk-dev?

However I am not able to work around this except by commenting out
the Replaces and Breaks lines entirely.
