  • Bug#1100390: libcompress-raw-bzip2-perl is wrongly marked Multi-Arch: s

    From Helmut Grohne@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 13 11:20:01 2025
    Package: libcompress-raw-bzip2-perl
    Version: 2.213-1+b1
    Severity: serious
    User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org
    Usertags: fileconflict

    libcompress-raw-bzip2-perl is marked Multi-Arch: same, but /usr/share/man/man3/Compress::Raw::Bzip2.3pm.gz actually differs between amd64/arm64/i386 and armel/armhf/mips64el/ppc64el/s390x. As a result
    unpacking multiple instances fails:

    Selecting previously unselected package libcompress-raw-bzip2-perl:ppc64el. (Reading database ... 6068 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack libcompress-raw-bzip2-perl_2.213-1+b1_ppc64el.deb ... Unpacking libcompress-raw-bzip2-perl:ppc64el (2.213-1+b1) ...
    dpkg: error processing archive libcompress-raw-bzip2-perl_2.213-1+b1_ppc64el.deb (--unpack):
    trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/man/man3/Compress::Raw::Bzip2.3pm.gz', which is different from other instances of package libcompress-raw-bzip2-perl:ppc64el
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    libcompress-raw-bzip2-perl_2.213-1+b1_ppc64el.deb

    On the flip side, using Multi-Arch: same doesn't practically work,
    because it depends on perl-base, which is not coinstallable. As a
    result, I recommend dropping it.

    sed -i -e '/^Multi-Arch: same/d' debian/control

    For the record, I believe the difference in the manual pages is because
    they embed a date stamp based on $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, which for binNMUs
    gets set to the time of each build separately (because they append an
    entry to debian/changelog at build time.)

    This and the other recent case (libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl / #1100547)
    both happened to get their binNMUs scheduled around midnight, so the
    quicker ones got a different build date.

    https://sources.debian.org/src/perl/5.40.1-2/cpan/podlators/lib/Pod/Man.pm/#L994

    I suspect that the best fix (short of replacing the whole binNMU concept
    with automated sourceful uploads) would be to remove the date from the generated manual pages altogether.

    That said, I'm not really keen on revisiting this stuff, at least until
    it causes actual problems.
