Admittedly I haven't read the code in too much detail, but conceptually I'd expect the following: - either d-s-s is not so much dependant on the debian version, then this should simply not cause such bad failure (but rather give a warning or so) - or it in fact is strongly dependant (either semantically or technically), but then a Breaks/Conflichts/whatever is really justified as it would strongly need the "older" version of Debian. > IMO the code should deal more gracefully with this situation, but > such a > change would probably be to invasive now. At least the above with the deps would probably solve the problem for people upgrading to buster,... cause I guess they could still be hit by base-files being upgraded first and then their old d-s-s failing immediately. Cheers, Chris.
