  • Bug#1104178: elpa-doom-themes: upgrade fails: cannot overwrite non-dire

    Hello,

    Interestingly, I cannot reproduce this with "apt dist-upgrade" which is
    why I didn't notice this issue earlier. On inspecting the install log,
    it looks like with "dist-upgrade", it will upgrade the emacs
    installation before addons which will first uninstall all addons and re-install them after emacs is configured, and hence worked around this potential issue.

    Still, I think it's better to have this fixed so that it works in all
    cases. I have tested a fix in the "bug#1104178" branch to be working.
    The diff can be seen here[1]. Please review.

    It's an RC bug regardless; we always support partial upgrades, and
    therefore can't rely on package upgrade order like that.

    Given the freeze and dh-elpa's status as a toolchain package, we need to
    handle this very carefully.

    I think we need David's review on the basic approach taken by the patch
    before proceeding much further, but I can comment on the shell
    scripting:

    - TIL unlink(1). Let's just use rm(1).

    - Quote the output of readlink, i.e. "$(readlink "${SYMLINK}")".
    Quotation resets inside $().

    - "for file in ./*" not "for file in *"
    per https://dwheeler.com/essays/filenames-in-shell.html sec. 1.2

    For build phase, dh-elpa is mostly used for detecting and running tests
    (ERT or Buttercup), not the actual building (which is skipped most of
    the time).

    I think you meant dh_elpa_test here and I don't think it's relevant to
    this bug at all?
