package is not upgraded on hardy upgrade

[JoseStefan]

Binary package hint: no-ip

Package is not upgraded on hardy upgrade.
Furthermore, manually installing "noip2" (hardy) does not remove "no-ip" (gutsy) from the system.
Leaving a (local or obsolete) package.

Should package Conflict with the "no-ip" version on gutsy?

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

There is no dummy package therefore there is no automatic upgrade, the package noip2 both provides and replaces no-ip but the upgrade has to be done manually.

[Johan Euphrosine (proppy)]

Please review that the attached debdiff correct this issue.

[Johan Euphrosine (proppy)]

Attached debdiff remove Provides and add versionned Conflicts Replaces over the dummy package.

[Johan Euphrosine (proppy)]

Corrected a typo in dummy package description.

[Siegfried Gevatter (rainct)]

Why the "(<< ${source:Version})" in Conflicts/Replaces?

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

Transitional package should be enough to fix this.

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

The Conflicts/Replaces are not there for the purpose of the dist-upgrade.
If a user however installs noip2 (2.1.7-7ubuntu1) over a system which has noip (<<2.1.7-7ubuntu1) what will happen if there is no Conflicts/Replaces?
Thats why "its better" to have it .....

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

no-ip (2.1.7-7ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * Add no-ip transitional package
  * Update maintainer field in debian/control
