This was my first inclination, but @Duncaen didn't think `replaces` was sufficient and recommended the meta-package approach. It would be great to get his feedback on the matter here.

Comment:
A quick test suggests that adding a `replaces` directive is not sufficient to identify the upgrade path from `pam-gnupg-git` to `pam-gnupg`. With the new `pam-gnupg` package (with a `replaces` directive) available in a local repository, `xbps-install pam-gnupg` will properly cause removal of an installed `pam-gnupg-git-20191206_1`. However, `xbps-install -u` from the local repo will *not* attempt to replace the installed `pam-gnupg-git-20191206_1` with the new `pam-gnupg` whether or not the `replaces` directive is included.

By contrast, having an updated `pam-gnupg-git` metapackage in the local repo causes `xbps-install -u` to properly replace the existing installation, pulling in the new `pam-gnupg` by dependence.

Comment:
Right, I see now. Only an explicit `xpbs-install pam-gnupg` would pick up the changes in the case when `pam-gnupg-git` is already installed.
Then indeed, having a metapackage should be the proper choice here.

Right, the meta pkg allows you to upgrade it even with incompatible version upgrades.

Anyway, next time we should be more careful when adding pkgs with git commits...

Re: [PR PATCH] [Merged]: Move to versioned pam-gnupg

There's a merged pull request on the void-packages repository

Move to versioned pam-gnupg
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/19645

Description:
This PR makes pam-gnupg-git a meta-package that depends on the new pam-gnupg package, which is a proper release version of the pam-gnupg module. The migration does not seem to work when pam-gnupg-git is a subpackage of pam-gnupg because the change from date-based versioning (20191206_1) to release versioning (0.1_1) is not properly ordered and XBPS will not recognize that the new meta-package is an upgrade to the earlier version.

The plan is to keep the pam-gnupg-git meta-package around for awhile---maybe until the next upstream release (I do not suspect that this is a popular package), then remove it and continue only with the new release-based package.
