  • Bug#1103050: fonts-culmus: Upgrade from bookworm fails: file conflict o

    From Colin Watson@21:1/5 to All on Mon Apr 14 12:00:01 2025
    Package: fonts-culmus
    Version: 0.140-2.1
    Severity: serious
    Justification: Policy 7.6.1

    An upgrade from bookworm to trixie fails if culmus was installed prior
    to the upgrade. Here's a recipe for reproducing this bug, assuming you
    have Incus set up (but any other OS container/VM option should work):

    $ incus launch images:debian/bookworm bookworm-culmus
    $ incus shell bookworm-culmus
    # apt -y install culmus
    # sed -i 's/bookworm/trixie/' /etc/apt/sources.list
    # apt update
    # apt full-upgrade
    [...]

    dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

    I see that you already have the appropriate Breaks/Replaces, but I
    vaguely recall that moving a dpkg-managed conffile from one package to
    another requires a bit more than that. I'm afraid I've forgotten the
    details, though.

    Thanks,

    I forgot to mention that this was based on a report that I happened to
    see on Reddit:
