  • Bug#1100468: libmeep33: missing Breaks+Replaces libmeep30

    From Helmut Grohne@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 14 10:00:02 2025
    Package: libmeep33
    Version: 1.29.0-1
    Severity: serious
    User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org
    Usertags: fileconflict
    Control: affects -1 + libmeep30

    Both libmeep30/bookworm and libmeep33/trixie contain overlapping files
    matching /usr/share/meep/*.scm. Therefore, unpacking libmeep33/trixie on
    a bookworm system containing libmeep30 fails.

    mmdebstrap --verbose --variant=apt '' /dev/null 'deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main' --include=libmeep30 --chrooted-customize-hook='sed -i -e s/bookworm/trixie/ /etc/apt/sources.list && apt-get update && apt-get download libmeep33 && dpkg
    --unpack --auto-deconfigure *.deb'

    This demonstrates the error.

    Selecting previously unselected package libmeep33.
    (Reading database ... 7735 files and directories currently installed.)
    Preparing to unpack libmeep33_1.29.0-1+b1_amd64.deb ...
    Unpacking libmeep33 (1.29.0-1+b1) ...
    dpkg: error processing archive libmeep33_1.29.0-1+b1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
    trying to overwrite '/usr/share/meep/casimir.scm', which is also in package libmeep30 1.25.0-2
    Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.36-9+deb12u9) ...
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    libmeep33_1.29.0-1+b1_amd64.deb

    The error does not presently show up in simple upgrade scenarios,
    because other relations tend to force deinstallation of libmeep30.
    Still, libmeep33 should declare Breaks + Replaces here.

    I note that this also is a violation of Debian policy 8.2. Please fix
    that as well.
