Subject: python-future,python-pies2overrides: error when trying to install together

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

Package: python-future,python-pies2overrides
Severity: serious
User: treinen@debian.org
Usertags: edos-file-overwrite

Architecture: amd64
Distribution: sid

Hi,

automatic installation tests of packages that share a file and at the
same time do not conflict by their package dependency relationships has
detected the following problem:

  Selecting previously unselected package python-pies2overrides.
  Preparing to unpack .../python-pies2overrides_2.6.1-1_all.deb ...
  Unpacking python-pies2overrides (2.6.1-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/python-pies2overrides_2.6.1-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/xmlrpc/client.py', which is also in package python-future 0.14.3-1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/python-pies2overrides_2.6.1-1_all.deb


This is a serious bug as it makes installation fail, and violates
sections 7.6.1 and 10.1 of the policy. An optimal solution would
consist in only one of the packages installing that file, and renaming
or removing the file in the other package. Depending on the
circumstances you might also consider Replace relations or file
diversions. If the conflicting situation cannot be resolved then, as a
last resort, the two packages have to declare a mutual
Conflict. Please take into account that Replaces, Conflicts and
diversions should only be used when packages provide different
implementations for the same functionality.

Here is a list of files that are known to be shared by both packages
(according to the Contents file for sid/amd64, which may be
slightly out of sync):

usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/html/__init__.py
usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/html/entities.py
usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/html/parser.py
usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/http/__init__.py
usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/http/client.py
usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/http/cookiejar.py
usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/http/cookies.py
usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/http/server.py
usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/xmlrpc/__init__.py
usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/xmlrpc/client.py


This bug is assigned to both packages. If you, the maintainers of
the two packages in question, have agreed on which of the packages will
resolve the problem please reassign the bug to that package. You may
also register in the BTS that the other package is affected by the bug.

Cheers,

Andreas

Hi,

Currently, I'm not sure I want to maintain this package anymore. The
upstream authors of the package needing it decided to get rid of this
dependency after I showed the issue. So I'm putting this on hold until I
have the updated package.

Also, Barry Warsaw wrote to me on IRC that he was interested in
maintaining this python-future. If he does, then the package is his.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)

I think the best we can do is add a Conflicts between the two packages.  The
contents of the conflicting directories are different.  Personally, I think
it's a bug that the two upstreams install these into the top-level namespace,
but given the nature of the packages, I can see why they did it this way.

I'll upload a Conflicts for future and will begin the NMU for python-pies.

As I discussed with Barry on IRC, I think this situation is a naming conflict 
that falls within the scope of policy 10.1.  While the specific files may 
provide the same/similar functionality, the packages do not so Conflicts or 
Update Alternatives are not appropriate solutions.

We did do a bit of investigation and it does not seem to me that 
renaming/moving the python-futures files is feasible.  The point of the package 
is to provide things like this generally.  Python-pies has a small rdpends set 
so I think moving the duplicated files in it is more tractable and makes more 
sense.

Since frosted is the only reverse dep of python-pies, and it can use
python3-pies instead, how about just dropping
python-pies/python-pies2overrides completely?

It doesn't look like frosted uses the xmlrpc override, so even simpler would 
be just to remove the xmlrpc override (since frosted does use others).  Then 
the change would be confined to python-pies2-overrides.

I intend to upload the attached shortly.  While NMU of a new upstream release 
isn't normal, it does, in this case, solve an RC bug, so I think it's a 
reasonable way to proceed.

The filing of this bug against multiple packages seems to be confusing 
version tracking/britney. Reassigning the bug to be filed just against 
the package that fixed it.
