Subject: Please don't drop historic obsoletes:
Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2022 18:59:43 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e3433b45-06e5-f056-74dd-fe0ab5cf39bb@dronecode.org.uk> (raw)
I notice that python2-2.7.18-2 and later drop the 'obsoletes: python'
which python2-2.7.18-1 and earlier had.
This isn't right, as there's nothing in calm which memorizes that it's
seen that (nor should there be), so that obsoletes: doesn't effect later
packages, and will be forgotten when the last package containing it is
expired.
Here's a list of packages which seem to have this error (assuming the
referenced package isn't being un-obsoleted). I'll look at fixing these
on sourceware, but in future, please don't do this in these or other
packages.
