Package: android-udev-rules

Severity: serious

Usertags: dep17p1
Control: affects -1 + android-sdk-platform-tools-common
android-udev-rules installs the file
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules. Unfortunately, android-sdk-platform-tools-common/28.0.2+9 as present in bookworm
installs /lib/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules. Your declared
Breaks+Replaces should be correct in theory and this issue is not your
fault. Due to the /usr-merge, this file can be lost in a distribution
upgrade when unpacking the binary packages in an unfortunate order. For
more information refer to
https://subdivi.de/~helmut/dep17.html section
P1.
I recommend that android-udev-rules mitigates this problem via
Conflicts, because the affected file tends to not be relevant to system
boot and Conflicts pose a mitigation that is mostly reliable when
installing packages using apt or libapt-based frontends (rather than
working with dpkg directly) as most Debian users do. Refer to section M7
of the above document for details.
If you agree, please add
Conflicts: android-sdk-platform-tools-common (<< 28.0.2+12~)
to the binary control section of the android-udev-rules package. For debian/changelog I recommend the following text:
Mitigate loss of 51-android.rules due to /usr-move via Conflicts
(Closes: #-1) (DEP17 P1 M7)
