  • Bug#1101345: symlink vs directory conflict for golang-gitlab-gitlab-org

    From Helmut Grohne@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 26 10:00:01 2025
    Package: golang-gitlab-gitlab-org-api-client-go-dev
    Version: 0.123.0-1
    Severity: serious
    User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org
    Usertags: fileconflict
    Control: affects -1 + golang-github-xanzy-go-gitlab-dev

    golang-gitlab-gitlab-org-api-client-go-dev installs /usr/share/gocode/src/github.com/xanzy/go-gitlab as a symbolic link
    whereas golang-github-xanzy-go-gitlab-dev installs it as a directory.
    This poses the typical challenges that we see with /usr-merge and causes unpredictable behaviour from dpkg depending on the unpack order. Please
    stop installing a symlink where other packages install a directory.

    Hi, and thanks for the report, and sorry for delay in noticing this.

    The golang-gitlab-gitlab-org-api-client-go-dev package is a
    rename/reupload of golang-github-xanzy-go-gitlab-dev so it is not
    surprising these conflict. I've asked for advice on next steps here:

    https://lists.debian.org/debian-go/2025/04/msg00000.html

    The rename process is briefly described here, but I'm not able to fill
    in the blanks on what to do:

    https://go-team.pages.debian.net/packaging.html#_upstream_package_moves

    The interaction with the ongoing freeze also complicate things.

    If anyone has ideas on either short-term fixes or long-term best
    solutions, feel free to suggest patches or do uploads. I really don't
    know what the best way forward is, but I'm happy to make uploads of
    cosign and glab to fix anything if there are concrete suggestions. They
    are the only two reverse dependencies of these two library packages.

    Meanwhile, it seems fine for golang-gitlab-gitlab-org-api-client-go-dev
    to stay out of testing until we have resolved this.

    /Simon
