[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#656962: puppet: fails to upgrade from squeeze - trying to overwrite ...

[Holger Levsen]

Package: puppetmaster, puppet-testsuite
Version: 2.7.9-1
affects: puppetmaster-common
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
squeeze. It installed fine in squeeze, then the upgrade to wheezy fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

From the attached logs (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package puppetmaster-common.
  Unpacking puppetmaster-common (from .../puppetmaster-common_2.7.9-1_all.deb) 
...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/puppetmaster-
common_2.7.9-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/etc/puppet/fileserver.conf', which is also in package 
puppetmaster 2.6.2-5+squeeze1


cheers,
	Holger
