To me it looks like the Conflicts/Replaces in Debian were just dropped. Is this what we want?

[Bhavani Shankar (bhavi)]

yes dependencies were normalised by the maintainer

ref:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=505737

and kees' attachment.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Bhavani: Kees suggested the following:
-Replaces: selinux
-Conflicts: selinux
+Replaces: selinux (<= 2003040709-11)
+Conflicts: selinux (<= 2003040709-11)

What in Debian happened was:
-Replaces: selinux
-Conflicts: selinux

Effectively this means for Ubuntu right now:
-Replaces: selinux (<= 2003040709-11)
-Conflicts: selinux (<= 2003040709-11)

Why would it be OK for Ubuntu to drop the change? I don't understand what "Dependency normalisation" means here.

[Bhavani Shankar (bhavi)]

Okay uploading a debdiff

[Bhavani Shankar (bhavi)]

Ok updated and done.

[Kees Cook (kees)]

If checkpolicy no longer Conflicts with "selinux", then we can sync it.
Ubuntu's change to checkpolicy was to get a versioned selinux Conflict
so our epoched "selinux" package wouldn't conflict any more. (Since there
is now no Conflicts at all, we don't need to re-add the versioned
Conflicts. Please just sync.)

[Bhavani Shankar (bhavi)]

Ok changed to a sync.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Bhavani: did you CHECK if there no longer is a conflict?

[Bhavani Shankar (bhavi)]

yes daniel

bhavani@hardy:~/checkpolicy-2.0.16$ dpkg-checkbuilddeps
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: bison flex libsepol1-dev (>= 2.0.25) libselinux1-dev (>= 2.0.59)

Unmet build deps are due to my system which is on hardy. In jaunty the deps have been bumped to the latest version So the error can be ignored.

and there is now no conflicts.

[James Westby (james-w)]

ACK from me.

Thanks,
