Subject: atheme-services: fails to upgrade from 'sid' - trying to overwrite /usr/sbin/dbverify

Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2014 20:16:25 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: atheme-services
Version: 7.0.7-1~exp0
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

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.

See policy 7.6 at
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

It looks to me like the problem here is simply that "dbverify" is a very 
generic name being used for a very specific utility.

As far as I can tell, the 'dbverify' utility in Atheme is completely 
unrelated to that in 389-ds. Neither works as a replacement for the 
other. It is just a namespace clash. Therefore, I think a Replaces 
relation would be inappropriate here. Perhaps it would be possible to 
use Breaks on its own to make the situation be reflected properly in 
dependency handling?

The proper solution is for the utility to be either renamed or removed 
from the package. It is an administrative utility not called by anything 
else in Atheme, therefore this should not break anything except possibly 
administrators' local scripts - but Atheme's 'dbverify' does not exist 
prior to version 7.0.0 so this does not affect anything using a version 
from Debian stable/testing/unstable.

The attached patch renames the utility to "atheme-dbverify".

389-ds may also be at fault in this - I am not sure to what extent 
"dbverify" exists as a traditional name for a particular utility.
