[Bug 1916250] Re: gir1.2-signon-2.0 needs to declare replace on older releases (Groovy2Hirsute)

[Rolf Leggewie]

There is no need for an SRU.  The problem does not affect focal as such. This is only an issue when moving from gir1.2-signon-1.0 to 
gir1.2-signon-2.0 which will only occur in groovy2hirsute and focal2jammy.  The Replaces-line can be dropped in jammy+1.

** Changed in: libsignon-glib (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => In Progress

** Summary changed:

- gir1.2-signon-2.0 needs to declare replace on older releases (Groovy2Hirsute)
+ gir1.2-signon-2.0 needs to declare replace on older releases (Groovy2Hirsute and Focal2Jammy)

Title:
  gir1.2-signon-2.0 needs to declare replace on older releases
  (Groovy2Hirsute and Focal2Jammy)

Status in libsignon-glib package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  gir1.2-signon-1.0 from groovy
  gir1.2-signon-2.0 from hirsute

  above two packages ship the same file /usr/lib/python3/dist-
  packages/gi/overrides/Signon.py without specifying how to resolve the
  conflict.

  Unpacking gir1.2-signon-2.0:amd64 (2.1-3) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/gir1.2-signon-2.0_2.1-3_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Signon.py', which is also in package gir1.2-signon-1.0 1.14+17.04.20161117-0ubuntu5
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/gir1.2-signon-2.0_2.1-3_amd64.deb
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

  Probably needs a conflicts/replaces dependency added to the newer
  hirsute package.
