Subject: /usr/share/php/doc both in php-pear and in php-net-smtp packages

Date: Mon, 08 Nov 2010 03:19:15 +0100

Package: php-pear
Version: 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny9
Severity: important


Package php-pear makes /usr/share/php/doc a symlink
Package php-net-smtp makes /usr/share/php/doc a directory

This makes installation of both packages fail.

By the way, I had both packages installed without problems.
The problem became when upgrading apt-net-smtp from version
1.3.1-1 (lenny) to 1.4.2-1 (squeeze) with php-pear version
5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny9 installed.

I ignore if the debian policy for php packages tells how
to handle the /usr/share/php/doc directory, but probably it should.

Thanks for your great work at Debian.

Best regards,
Gonzalo.

If that was truth, IMHO, the seriousness for this issue would be
"grave", as per the definition: "makes the package in question unusable
by most or all users". Indeed, how could we use the package if we can't
even install it?

The Debian policy is pretty clear that all documentations of packages
should go in /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE. php-* packages don't differ from
others. Now, I can see that *MANY* pear packages could have an issues,
because CDBS create symlinks in /usr/share/php/doc/$PACKAGE, but read
further...

What I don't understand, is that I do have php-pear and php-net-smtp on
my system, and it isn't creating any conflict at all. php-net-smtp on
Lenny doesn't even carry a folder in /usr/share/php/doc. I've tried to
apt-get --reinstall install both php-pear and php-net-smtp, and it
worked well. That leads me to believe that the issue is when upgrading
from php-pear AND php-net-smtp in Lenny (but that's only a wild guess)
to Squeeze.

Can you explain a bit more how you had the issue? I'd be happy to fix
it, but currently, I couldn't reproduce it.

I had installed php-pear 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny9 and php-net-smtp 1.3.1-1.
These are the current versions in lenny.

Then I upgrade lenny to squeeze, and apt-get wants to upgrade php-net-smtp
to version 1.4.2-1. I don't know why apt-get doesn't upgrade php-pear too,
this would avoid the problem.

And during the upgrade I got:

Preparando para reemplazar php-net-smtp 1.3.1-1 (usando .../php-net-smtp_1.4.2-1_all.deb) ...
Desempaquetando el reemplazo de php-net-smtp ...
dpkg: error al procesar /var/cache/apt/archives/php-net-smtp_1.4.2-1_all.deb (--unpack):

I've been making some tests and it is a little messy all this.

I have reproduced it this way:

- I start with a newly installed squeeze inside QEMU
- I install php5-common and php5-cli, without recommends, from squeeze.
  This is to avoid dependency problems later.
- I install with dpkg php-pear version 5.2.6.dfsg1-1lenny9 (the one from lenny)
- I install with dpkg php-net-smtp 1.3.1-1 (fom lenny). Tell dpkg to ignore the
  dependency on php-net-socket.

Now you have the system more or less as I had it before the upgrade.

Now try to upgrade ONLY php-net-smtp:

# aptitude install php-net-smtp

and you get the error.

If you upgrade php-pear before (or at the same time as) php-net-smtp you
won't get the error. Don't know why.

Cheers,
Gonzalo.

I believe that it tried to upgrade php-pear later (there's no guarantee
on the order that apt will choose when upgrading). Maybe adding a
Depends (or maybe a Pre-Depends) on php-pear will fix it. I'll ask on
IRC right now. I'm also re-tagging the bug, as it deserves a RC and a
retitled.
