Replaced package not removed during upgrade #136

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

Taken from a comment on issue 89. This needs its own separate issue number.

#2 radolin

I can confirm the bug in a similar situation. I created a package A, and 
package B. In newer versions of package B it integrates the function of A, so A 
is no longer needed and B now has the  'replace A' property.

Steps

1. Install A. Install B
2. Upgrade B to new version, which 'replaces: A'

Expected result:

A is removed during B upgrade

Actual Result:

Both A and new version of B are installed.

Ok, this isn't a bug. As per the Debian Policy Manual [1], a package isn't 
actually replaced unless it's listed in both 'Replaces' and 'Conflicts'.

We do need to better document our handling of package control fields, but 
that's another issue.
