Package: libchipcard6t64
Version: 5.99.1beta-1
Severity: serious

libchipcard6t64 has an undeclared file conflict. This may result in an
unpack error from dpkg.

The files
* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gwenhywfar/plugins/79/ct/chiptanusb.so
* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gwenhywfar/plugins/79/ct/chiptanusb.xml
* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gwenhywfar/plugins/79/ct/ddvcard.so
* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gwenhywfar/plugins/79/ct/ddvcard.xml
* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gwenhywfar/plugins/79/ct/starcoscard.so
* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gwenhywfar/plugins/79/ct/starcoscard.xml
* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gwenhywfar/plugins/79/ct/zkacard.so
* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gwenhywfar/plugins/79/ct/zkacard.xml
are contained in the packages
* libchipcard6t64/5.1.6-1.1 as present in unstable
* libchipcard8/5.99.1beta-1 as present in experimental

These packages can be unpacked concurrently, because there is no
relevant Replaces or Conflicts relation. Attempting to unpack these
packages concurrently results in an unpack error from dpkg, because none
of the packages installs a diversion for the affected files.

This actually is fallout from the time64 transition. Both libchipcard6
and libchipcard8 declared "Provides: libgwenhywfar79-plugins-ct" and "Conflicts: libgwenhywfar79-plugins-ct". However, libchipcard6t64 has
changed this to libgwenhywfar-plugins-ct. The change in virtual facility
causes the conflicts to no longer take effect. Hence filing this with libchipcard6t64 rather than libchipcard8.

Kind regards

Hallo Michael,
ich habe aktuell Debian gar nicht mehr im Einsatz und nutze auch gnucash
nicht mehr. Ich bekomme jedoch noch die E-Mails über die changes. Kannst
du mich aus dem E-Mail Verteiler wieder austragen bitte?

Beste Grüße, Thorsten

The Provides/Conflicts accidentally changing from
libgwenhywfar79-plugins-ct to libgwenhywfar-plugins-ct is caused by
some custom substvars generation done by the script debian/update_substvars.sh, which writes the variable to a package
specific substvars file debian/libchipcard6.substvar. The package
rename caused this substvar defined in that file to be lost.

I think I've found a fix for it:

I currently have no capacity for testing it right away, so feel free
to prepare another 0-day-NMU to fix this RC bug quicker than I can.

Best regards,
Micha
