Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'sid' to 'experimental'.
It installed fine in 'sid', then the upgrade to 'experimental' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.
This error may also be triggered by having a predecessor package from
'sid' installed while installing the package from 'experimental'.
Hm. I'm not sure what to do here, it's a bit interesting.
The move has happened in 4.19.6-2 which were uploaded a couple days ago.
The version in experimental (4.20) uploaded *before* the version in sid
(4.19.6) - I uploaded new upstream version to experimental to see how it
will work.
For the real 4.20 upload, I'll rebase it on top of current sid version,
4.19.6-2, which does have proper breaks/replaces but in the opposite
direction.
So in order to fix this bug, current version of samba should be *removed*
from experimental, instead of adding backwards-facing breaks/replaces.
I don't plan to do another upload of 4.20 to experimental at this time,
and the next upload will be to sid (hopefully) with proper history et
al. So current version in experimental is sort of orphan right now.
Or are you suggesting I should perform another upload to experimental
just to fix this bug report? I'd rather avoid another rebase..
Thanks,
/mjt
