Bug#852599: texlive-latex-recommended, texlive-latex-recommended-doc: Replaces without Breaks make files disappear from other installed packages
Hi Andreas,
thanks for the report ... but I am stymed ... maybe *all* the
TeX Live replace/breaks are wrong ... reading the policy again
I see that yes, all are wrong ...
I have wrong entries back to 2014 ...
Now the question is, why did this never show up :-(

I can easily fix all the cases and upload new packages, but that would
destroy the chance to enter testing/next-stable due to freeze bug.
Do you have any suggestion how to proceed? I can do the following:
* prepare new set of packages
* maybe you can run your usual piuparts test on these new packages
* if they are clean I upload them *after* the freeze and ask for
an exception
WDYT?
BTW,
> 4m35.6s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified:

That seems to be a dpkg problem, not mine. I never create these files, nor
do I ship them by myself. If this is a bug, then dpkg one.
All the best
Norbert
