[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#981576: ghdl-common: missing Breaks+Replaces: ghdl (<< 0.37+dfsg2)

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: ghdl-common
Version: 0.37+dfsg2-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'testing'.
It installed fine in 'testing', then the upgrade to 'sid' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Preparing to unpack .../ghdl-common_0.37+dfsg2-1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking ghdl-common (0.37+dfsg2-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/ghdl-common_0.37+dfsg2-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/ghdl', which is also in package ghdl:amd64 0.37+dfsg-3
  dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/ghdl-common_0.37+dfsg2-1_amd64.deb

BTW, did you really intend to move /usr/bin/ghdl to the -common package?
That's rather unusual.
(But you need the B+R also for splitting out the /usr/lib bits to -common.)


cheers,

Andreas
